    Is buying a hardware firewall worth the price?

    Will it make my computers more secure from some intruding from the internet?

    How will a hardware firewall benefit my computers?

    Most routers have really good Hardware firewalls...So if your router has a firewall I don't think you need another hardware firewall(unless you don't have a router of course)

    My router does have a firewall, they claim it is an advanced firewall, whatever that means. Now I need to figure out how to use it and what all the functions mean.

    the firewall is already active as soon as it was powered up.
