I doubt this is very competent opinion. Does your home network have more 
than one computer? In not, then why do you need router at all?
If you have more than one computer, do they share data (or printers)? It 
is usually very convenient - and safe if you don't expose your network 
to everybody. Router can prevent access to your shared data (and network 
****ts) from outside world.
I also suspect, that all your network connections (and web traffic) can 
be sniffed if anybody is interested.

Also I can say that other people using you bandwidth can make your 
connection slow or expose you to legal problems like child ****ography, 
SPAM distributing or illegal file sharing.
