[fw-wiz] firewalls and routers

I'm afraid I have some really basic questions (I'm trying to resolve a
potential security issue where I work).

1. if we are using a router, does that mean a computer that processes credit
cards does not need to have its firewall enabled?
2. can a router have a firewall and if so, how does one get to it to
configure it?

thx

pc
