Question Router v software firewall

Opinions needed really...

Me being extremely paranoid and due to my computer going through a severe allergic reaction last year to different software firewalls, I got a router, just for the firewall.

I also have Norton Internet Security.

Do I need both or is the router and a AV program fine?

(Please don't get into a Norton bashing thread, this is not what it's about. Pretend it's a brand X Firewall. )

Probably the thing I would miss is the "productivity control" on NIS, as I have a user account set up for my nephew and it gives a bit of control.
