Really easy to setup. In most cases, just plug in, follow simple instructions and good to go.
Wired routers often come built in with a firewall of some kind too so no need to worry.

If you don't use a router the only problem I can see is that you would have to power everything down each time you want to change connections so modem recognises the computer that is connected.
Thanks for that - what you describe is what I occasionally have to do now as I sometimes use an old (W98) PC which I connect to the web via the USB connection on the modem. Since I don't have to do this sort of thing often it's no big issue powering everything off/on and switching connections. If it becomes tiresome I guess then I'd go for the router but I might have a look around in the shops anyway and see what I can find.

Cheers everyone
