But I am getting the impression that router does not equal firewall. Routers do some things that a try firewall does, but not all. Is this correct?
-----Original Message----- From: Dawson, Michael I use a Linksys (now Cisco) wireless router at home. When we got broadband (cable) several years ago, my PC was hacked in just a few days. That was all it took for me to convince my wife that we needed a router. After installing it, I have had no problems. Of course, I'm not running a business or anything.
