installing the free firewall software - cabling question

I a bit unsure how best to setup the Free version of the Sophos firewall. My setup at home is as follows; ISP router (no wireless and few ports) to standalone wireless router with 8 ports (everything connected to this router).  I have an old desktop I'm going to install the firewall on, and it has two nics, that’s the simple part.  The part I'm not sure about for my setup is do I put the firewall device between the two routers (i.e. use to connect the two) or some other configuration.  Both on one router or the other?

 

Also does it matter which nic connection goes where, like is one "in" and one is "out" from the firewall. How do I know which is which?
