My apologies if this is the incorrect forum to ask this. Right now im using the Network Everywhere NWR04B Wireless Router and the eTrust EZ Armor security suit which i must say is a match made in hell :?
Since most routers have built in firewalls is it really nessasry to have a software firewall aswell?
well if your using a wireless one then yes you will have to use a firewall, unless you want others within range being able to see what you are doing or being able to use your connection.

Yes. Hardware will mostly protect you from the outside but if you download a virus or malware and you don't have a firewall then you can spread the stuff. A software firewall will ask for permissions and block programs and other fun stff.
