I moved your message from "Website Problems" to this forum. Please tell us which version of CentOS you are using (5, 6 or 7). This topic may need to be moved again based on your response.

I recommend buying a DSL/cable router.
Building a router is not a task for novices.
There are too many security issues you don't yet understand.

CentOS 5.5 came out in early 2010 so you are 5 years out of date on security patches. You badly need to run yum update to get to the supported version, 5.11.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
