Firewall that doesn't increase latency

Quote from NetTecture:

I would not use the RB 450 gut go for the 450G always - remember that is also a nice switch and you want POSSIBLY gigabit there. Depending on your bandwidth the 750 may be enough, though ;) And then we talk of 60 USD only.... but if you do not mind, I would likely go with the 2011 these days ;)

I have a distributor in my area that sells the RB450G for only $99.
Seems like an awful lot of bang for the buck!
Just hope I can set it up easy.

To update I was referring to software firewalls. My first mistake. I trade remote and havent had to deal with this issue until now. I have previously traded on location and the IT infrastructure was in place.

From my understanding now I need a hardware firewall/router. For sub $500 what is my best option.

My trading rig is not the issue. i73930k, 8gb ram, 256 SSD, Killer2100 network card built into motherboard, fiber optic broadband, etc.

I just need security with out latency.

None. Nada. Nihil. Zero.

Windows has a decent firewall integrated. At least CURRENT versions have a quite decent. Wont protect you from your own stupidity, but stops other people from reaching you. I keep it around on all machines. And no, it does NOT delay things 1 second.
 
Trading Technologies generally makes you disable Windows 7 User Account Controls, the Base Filtering Engine, and any anti-virus or firewall applications.

It does worry me about security, but so far nothing bad has happened over the years.

I have a workstation dedicated for trade execution and nothing else, running X Trader Pro.

The box that I recommended has two slots - one PCI and one PCI-e. The Intel Pro 1000 GT card isn't bad however it is lower quality than the server grade MT and PT models. The GT is a "desktop" model while the MT and PT are "Server grade" models.

It isn't a knock on the GT cards. I'd use them on a desktop all day long just not a router or anything with higher sustained bandwith.

Actually, the Intel EXPI9301CT networking PCIe card is the one that is most appropriate for my needs. It uses the Intel 82574L chip.
This chip is from 2008. $29.99 OEM on New Egg. The PRO version of this networking card (EXPI9400PT) uses the older 2005 chip (82572) and costs about $60 more. The only difference that I've found being that it supports an Intel feature called Intelligent Offloads.
