But if you trust all the devices on your switch, you should be OK. Nothing 
from the internet can talk to devices on your private network so long as 
you trust your modem/router.

If you have someone on your Wi-Fi subnet, then you probably have bigger 
problems already anyway, and a firewall with two physical ports won't 
help.
