How can I better protect my LAN from Internet Hackers

How can I better protect my LAN from Internet Hackers

My computer is connected to my Netgear router which is also the switch for my network, this in turn is connected to my cable modem which is just a bridging device.
My router is blocking scans and fragmentation attacks but I believe its processor and RAM is getting hammered doing so because my LAN speed is very slow both wired and wireless and on multiple machines.
Would adding a hardware firewall between my ISP bridge and my Router help or is there a better solution to dealing with these attacks?
