We just got broadband and it freaks me out that I’ll be connected 24/7. Do I need a firewall on my pc on top of the built in firewall the router has? I believe it’s very difficult to hack into the router?

   Firewall in the firewall in the firewall in the router is no substitute for things at random you use your personal information also remember that those kinds of malicious software can still sneak through.
