Even for one computer !
Just the fact that it is a NAT Router making it a simplistic FireWall is justification.
Then there are the models that have a full FireWall embedded.
In many models they have a 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet Switch. It wasn't too long ago that such a
device would cost $100.00 per switch port. Now you can get them for ~$10.00 per switched
port.
I have heard some models can be had for as little as $20.00.
It is too bad that you have such a poor opinion on this topic matter.
