People often ask this question. The truth is if you have a broadband internet connection, you need a router. What does a router do? A router is a firewall. Routers block security risk internet ports unless told otherwise. Having a router also makes the connection to your internet provider simple as you will not have to create a connection or use a third-party firewall. Another benifit of a router is that you can hook up multiple computers behind your internet connection. Having a “wireless” router will give you access to the internet from a laptop anywhere in your house.
