I just got one router hooked to three PC's. I did a security check on it and it passed with flying colors. The site could not get access to anything at all on my computer. I really don't think there is a need for more than one router on the same DSL line.

You have 3 router connected to one system? If that is what you are saying, you might want to research that to confirm that is doing any good. If I am not mistaken, I heard that having more than one router is no better than having only one. Perhaps an added on software fire wall program would help more than extra hardware routers.
