I will preferbaly use a linksys router unless yourself or anyone can suggest a better make / model that is more secure when using a router.

I mean I know about setting the password on the router to something else so that it is not left as the default one :) ie Admin or left blank or something to that extent, but I wanted to know what other security settings I need to configure on it and any resources that I need or tutorials to take me through how to do each of those things :)

ok - only other thing I want to ask on this question is what is the best way to block porn so that ppl who access the net via going to a library or public internet access place can not access porn ??

That's a tuff one.  There is no way to totally prevent somebody with knowledge of the internet and determiniation from getting at it, in my humble opinon.  But you can greatly reduce the chances by purchasing third-party software on the PC's that constantly update to block sites.


SurfControl and NetNanny are examples of a few.  I don't know of anything free that works well.
