RE: network question
Not quite: the advantage is actually in the Network Address Translation feature of all modern routers. By using NAT, your machine is hidden behind an external IP address, and any attacks on that hit the router not the PC. In effect, it's an excellent hardware firewall.
The firewall on the router itself is there to protect the router itself, not the machines behind ;)
