Should I have a firewall on my rounter?

[1dsandtrap]

I bought a router(not wireless) a couple of months ago and it doesnt have a firewall in it, but since I have a firewall on my pc is it necessary to have one on my router?

Is up to you, probably not, having too many might actually be too much of a hazzle. I only have the one that Norton has, and the windows one disable, you can have both if you want, The windows one, the antivirus one, and the router one.

Nah, the router will support NAT, you are pretty save if act normal on your pc. Check your manual for NAT.

Yes, I cannot imagine that your router has no security/NAT, so you should be fine.
