Noob issues!

Okay, I've been trying to set up this UTM for the better part of a week. I have a very angry, frustrated wife who is on my case about me trying to keep the Internet clean for the family! Anyways....
Current setup is the following:
DSL modem
Linksys wrt-1900ac with 2.4 and 5 enabled, giving us multiple wireless networks to use.
Off of the router I have an 8 port network switch to give more wired clients.
My PC

I tried placing the UTM after the DSL modem, and it started knocking everyone offline, hence angry, frustrated wife. Restarted DSL modem so it could grab new MAC address, and after many angry looks disconnected the UTM.

How can I place the UTM so it filters all of the traffic? What do I need to address in the modem and the router?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am cross eyed from reading this and that!

Thank you.

Hey there Paramedic223.

We'll start with an EMT/Medic joke:

HIPPA
HIPPA who?
I can't tell you that!

I think DHCP needs to be enabled.
Yes, this is what will give your devices internal IP addresses.  Network Services > DHCP > Servers
I am using OpenDNS, so have a login for that.
Network Services > DNS > Global & Forwarders Tabs.
I am not sure what the masquerading item is.
It's necessary to translate traffic between internal non-internet routable IPs and the external WAN IP provided by your ISP.  The Network will be your Internal (Network) and the Interface will be your WAN.  Network Protection > NAT > Masquerading.
And what firewall rules?
For home use, go with simplicity.  Internal (Network) ----> Any ----->Internet IPv4.  Network Protection > Firewall > Rules.

For each and every one of the WebAdmin links I've provided, navigate to that page/tab, then click on the blue button with a question mark in it at the top right area of the page.  This will bring up the help for that page.  Time to read and actually become well versed.
