DSL router with firewall / website filter

JohnCleary · 2015-08-18 09:00:21

We are taking a server out of an office as there's no need for it anymore. Therefore, we will put in a new dsl router to act as a router, rather than a bridge. So, we will also be removing the SonicWALL firewall. Does anyone know of a DSL (doesn't need to be VDSL... this place won't be getting that for a long time) router…

Does anyone know of a DSL (doesn't need to be VDSL... this place won't be getting that for a long time) router with a decent built-in firewall / website filter. The main thing is that they want all websites blocked, with the exception of a white list.

-EDIT- Never mind, just googled, and it's possible that the SonicWALL can act as a DHCP server, meaning I can leave the current DSL router in bridge mode and let the SonicWall do all of the router features.
