Will getting a router improve my PC security? I have a single PC in my home that I connect to the Internet using a cable modem. I have heard that a router will improve my PC security by acting as an extra barrier that malicious software must get through before it reaches my PC. I do not have any other computers, so I do not need a router for networking purposes. Is it worthwhile to get a router? Is a wireless router as effective as a wired one? What type of router would you recommend? How do I set up a the connections between the PC, router, and cable modem? |
