As others have indicated, it depends. And also, this is the wrong newsgroup.
A router may or may not be protection - it depends on the router and the
configuration. Or, you may not have a router - you may only have a switch
(virtually impossible to differentiate by looking at it).
I would highly suggest you get a local consultant in there to check out your
entire network. Even if you're using an address in the range of 10.xx.xx.xx or
192.168.xx.xx you could be vulnerable.
Security is nothing to ignore!
