Linksys DSL/Cable router/firewall

by kwflick . Updated 25 years, 10 months ago

I have a Linksys BEFSR11 – EtherFast 1-Port Cable/DSL Router and I would like to know just how secure it is. There are no logging capabilities on it, but when my IP is pinged from outside the builtin firewall does not respond. There are a few websites that I have used to test my firewall, but I still am not satisfied. Are there any issues concerning this router and PC security? Is it really secure? Should I run a software based firewall along with it on my PC?
