Stealthing your router is the best first line of defence that you can have. Most routers come un-stealthed by default - Just follow the directions on the site listed below and soon your router will end up invisible on the Internet, best thing since sliced bread.
Best of luck.

Most routers contain a hardware firewall. You can use that and a software firewall on your pc, they shouldn't conflict.
You need specific instructions, go to the manufacturers website or the shop that sold you the router.

Some routers will have a firewall built into them, but you're better off with one on your pc.

your router is a firewall. there are 2 different kinds of firewalls...hard and soft.....hardware firewalls are things such as your router......software firewalls are programs
