securing belkin 4 port wireless router

i am new to networking and broadband so please forgive me if i ask anything blatantly stupid/obvious.

i am using an acer 3600
windows xp with service pack 3
belkin 4 port wireless
the only current firewall is default windows firewall.

do i need to install a firewall only onto my acer or do i need to also configure a firewall for my router?

the only setting i have configured within the router is the default password.

i am new to security and networking so i found the installation cd and router configuration wizard to be quite confusing.
