Sounds like I might not need it then. I was really looking at the claims that for the strongest PC defence you should have one.

As nor said you need a router to share 2 or more pc's with one connection, once you have one the extra security provided by the NAT function is nice to have - & that works as long as the modem & router are switched on, so no vulnerability while booting.
So I think, overall, the claims are true, but imo the question is whether you are prepared to lash the extra cash to provide the hardware firewall function if you only have one pc. I don't think I would - but it's your call.
