Hi, I have a netgear wgb511 wireless router and am wondering if I should use it. Any pros and cons on the subject?

Well it depends on if u have multiple PC's amd want to give access to the net for the pc's. Secondly i am not really familar with that brand of router, would suggest the Lynksys router it does the job to a "T".

I only have one pc. I've been using a straight connection to the pc, but I would like some extra protection while online. I've heard that routers are the best thing.

I tried using zone alarm, but I didn't like it. I just heard that, it is better to be behind a router.

Look I can speak only for myself and i say this although it may increase the level of protection by having a router it still doesnt mean im not goin to run a Firewall or Antivirus software for extra protection.
