I have a Comcast cable modem, Airport Express router and a Dell PC that I am bringing up will run Sophos UTM as a separate firewall. The cable modem and router are already up and running in support of a dozen devices within my home. What's the best/right way of adding the separate firewall to this configuration (I already know how to prepare the PC and install the firewall software)?

Modem->router->Firewall->switch->devices.

I have an almost identical set up, just different software. Everything (almost) flows through the firewall.
