Linusky :
my desired setup is this: ISP->Modem-> Router X(DHCP)->current Router (DHCP disabled)->Home PC
That won't provide any protection at all. In fact it won't do anything since you're using your old router as a dumb switch. To add an extra layer of protection, you need to go:
ISP
|
modem
|
current router - web server
|
new router
|
home PC
That is, plug the web server and the new router's WAN port into your current router's LAN ports (don't disable DHCP). The new router will add a second firewall, and all your "secure" devices should be connected to the new router. You can disable WiFi on the current router, unless you also want to use it to provide a guest WiFi connection. If you need to do any port forwarding for games, this means you need to port forward twice since your new router will basically be seeing your current router's network as "the Internet."
All that said, I'd strongly recommend looking into a web hosting service. A blog requires almost zero CPU, RAM, and network bandwidth. There are many web hosts which will do it for a few dollars a month. And before you say "but I can do it for free at home," no it's not free. If you pay the U.S. average of 11.5 cents/kWh for electricity, then a device that's left on 24/7 will cost you about $1 in electricity each year for every Watt it consumes. So if your "free" home web server is on newer hardware that burns about 30 Watts at idle, then it'll cost you about $30/yr in electricity to run it from home. Add in 5 Watts for the new router and you're paying about $3/month. If you're trying to reduce new purchase costs by re-using an old computer that burns 65 Watts at idle, then you're looking at $70/year, or about $6/mo spent on electricity.
That's right around what a several web hosts charge for their lowest tier of service. And they will also provide you with a static IP address, DNS, in many cases domain name purchasing (though I recommend you do that separately - I use namesilo), and most importantly automated backups and timely troubleshooting if any networking issues arise (they strive for 99.999% uptime or better).
Also, Does the ethernet speed such as 100 mbps and 1000 mbps matter much?
Unless your Internet speed is faster than 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps, not really. If your router is 100 Mbps on the LAN side, it will cap data transfers between two ethernet devices to 100 Mbps even if both devices are Gigabit capable. But that's easily remedied by buying a $20 Gigabit switch, plugging that into one of the router's LAN ports, and plugging your Gigabit devices into the switch. They'll still be limited to 100 Mbps for anything going through the router (i.e. Internet), but they'll be able to communicate at Gigabit speed with other devices plugged into the switch.
