Modernization of the network in a medium-sized company

Hello, I am a novice IT specialist and I plan to modernize the company's network in which I work. The company has 40 PCs and a few network printers. These computers are connected to the server room with two switches. The symphony server and router are also connected to the switches. Computers are in the office and in production, but unfortunately there are no vlanes set up. The DHCP server is on the router. The internet speed from ISP is 100Mb / s UP and 100Mb / s DOWN.

The problem is that she has been dropping connection to the server and the Internet recently. I suspect that the equipment is very old and keeps breaking down.

I got approval from my boss to buy a new 48-port switch and router. The switch I bought is WS-C2960G-48TC-L. When I was about to buy a router, my lecturer recommended that if I already have a Cisco, I would buy a firewall instead of a router, I suggested CISCO ASA. That is my question. My question is which CIsco ASA model should I choose for such a switch and the number of computers? Let me remind you that a maximum of 2 remote users can work with us, but it is very rare. Another question is is it really worth buying a firewall instead of a router?
