you're probably gonna find that replacing that box with a router is more like a downgrade. Most consumer routers don't have any advanced features, the firewalls are either not configurable or very basic, and a lot of times they only have a web-based interface that relies heavily on javascript. The speed of a p133 shouldn't be a problem for routing, I've worked on one that serves aprox. 20 computers and it keeps up with the demand fine. If you experience slowness, make sure all the NICs are 100mb, and make sure you have at least 64mb ram. the parts for machines of that era are usually easy to find and extremely cheap (I have boxes of parts from machines of that era all obtained from stuff being dumped).
