You could always get a Raspberry-Pi B ( _NOT_ the 2 recent release) ! ) and install on this the IpFire dedicated firewall distribution; depending on whether you connect by Wifi or Ethernet to the office LAN, you will need a USB Wifi interface, or a USB-to-RJ45 adapter. Just make sure those dont need an unobtainable driver to run under Linux ;-3) Not very bulky, can be run off the laptop USB, easy to configure, and should keep you reasonably safe from the nasties who lurk in the outside darkness....
