Anything that runs openwrt should work fine as a firewall. What exactly
do you mean by ''appliance''?

A box that hangs on the wall. Very little user interaction, except
maybe a web page to configure it (or some such).

Do you want it to do things other than
firewall/NAT?

Firewall/NAT/router/port forwarding. But it must be a *real* firewall.
NAT *is not* a firewall.
