Often the internal network is connected to the outside by a router(*) provided by the ISP (perhaps with WiFi), and can't be considered secure: thus the need for a firewall running on our computers, even on the "internal" network.
Carlos, you don't put better door on rooms when outside doors are weak. If I can't replace them, for whatever reason, I would reinforce them from inside and keep inside free of obstacles. It is simply lesser work in daily life.
When you live on an apartment, you have a key on the street door, and separate keys on each apartment >:-P
It doesn't come "secured" out of the box: firewall disabled, common login/pass published on web pages...
If word firewall doesn't mean NAT than it is default for each router.
This particular router has nat, and also a firewall, which is disabled by default. The firewall should deter people from scanning ports on the router, at least.
Problem is that people forget and misplace login info, and if there would be no way to know defaults, people would avoid to buy device.
Most "secure" devices have a way to reset to defaults. It could reset to a default password, and disable internet till changed, forcing the user to change it from the inside.
I've seen some recent routers with defaults printed on label, so that is changing.
Yes, things should change... - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
