I recently bought this router and I am satisfied with it. But, I have heard that this router has a firewall capability, too, so I was wondering if using it as a firewall would spare me from using desktop firewall (Zone Alarm). If this is possible, how can I do it? How is the router firewall enabled?

I am not sure about how you should enable your router’s firewall, but I am sure that it is nicely described in your router’s user manual. And yes, it is a good option to turn this option on; thus you do not have to use Zone Alarm, or Windows Firewall or any other firewall software – you are saving both your RAM and CPU time.
