POE Firewall Router switch

    I have Digiweb metro Broadband
    Digiweb Modem = Thomson

    I have a SPA 3102 ATA connected to the Thomson. I have aBelkin Wireless N router for wireless access and for connecting to some other ethernet points. I have a Linksys WRT 54 G set up as a wireless access point in another part of building connected to one of the afore mentioned ethernet points.

    I need more wireless (poe) access points so needed POE capability and invested in a netgear prosafe FS108PEU.

    I didn't think of the absense of any firewall with the netgear switch.

    Please tell me what I should be doing?

    Are you wanting to isolate anything connected to the Netgear from the rest of your network?

    If not the external/internal interface is the Thomson and that is where you need any hardware firewall.
