risks of using a router instead of a firewall

Dear List;

I have installed a D-Link broadband DI-601 router for Internet access.

I scanned the router using nmap, nessus, and superscan. They could not identify any open ports. In addition, according to D-Link, all D-Link routers block all incoming ports.

In this scenario, is my network safe from DoS, DDoS, Buffer Overflow, teardrop, IP spoofing, etc. attacks.

Any comments/suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,
