A router will do nothing to protect you. All a router does is allow you to hook up multiple computers to one internet connection. Thats it. UNLESS you get a router/firewall combination. The only problem I have seen with those is that sometimes the firewalls are half-assed and the extra expense spent on the combo deal becomes a loss.
