I've just started broadband with BT and they gave me the above modem/router. I've never really used a router before but does this mean now I no longer need a software firewall? Does this model have a built-in firewall?

Um personal preference those BT routers are shockingly bad go for a D-Link, net gear or linksys. Ive had a lot of experience with these 3 and have had no complaints.
So would you suggest I'm safe to remove the software firewall?
Its always useful and if your on Windows XP service pack 2, its not bad
If you want a better FREE one go for Zone Alarm.
But KEEP the firewall!
