Re: Do I need a router ?
Welcome to the site...

If you intend to go wireless at some point then this is a must for your config. A router will add another layer of security to your network but only if configured correctly. A favourite router on this site is probably the Linksys WRTG54 range (I use one) there are others and features will differ from router to router but the majority will offer wireless security as well as basic firewall security via NAT (Network Address Translation) which "almost" makes your clients appear invisable to the outside world.
