need help setting up a very simple home network configuration
I'm probably asking something has been asked before but since I don't know anything about networking I don't even know the right buzz words to do a good forum search.
I have what I think is a very simple network need, like this:

One person told me the box with the question mark just needs to be a switch, another that it needed to be a "firewall router", and another that it needed to be BOTH a switch and a firewall router, and another that it needed to be "managed switch".
I've looked all those up but being totally new to networking I find it all very confusing.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
