	There are a number of options depending on what kind of router you
want. Assuming you mean a domestic or SOHO edge router to a service with a
single IP allocation you will need to set up:

NAT/Firewall: ipfw or pf can be used - there are many recipes online for pf
configurations, just make sure you understand the one you use.

DHCP/DNS: Install dnsmasq and set it up.

Media server, 'personal cloud' and similar services can also be set up
(many options), personally I like to keep my edge router down to routing,
NAT and firewall and run all the services elsewhere on the LAN.
