There is no other device that can provide me with a lightweight firewall
for $50.
Yes there is; it's a SOHO gateway with its NAT function switched
off for use with a "fixed IP address".
SOHO gateways with IPv6 support will provide exactly as much firewall
protection as a NAT-capable IPv4 SOHO gateway. The only question is
when they will cost $50.
if they use software to forward packets (it is unlikely for $50 routers
to have silicon to forward packets) and they are wise enough to use
free software, there is almost no real reason to raise the price for
IPv6 support.
