web server + router on the same box

I've started playing around with Linux and Apache lately and am
wondering if it would be secure to put a web server and wireless
router on the same box. Are there security risks? Is it more
conventional to put the router and server on their own boxes?

I'll probably use Fedora Core and Apache. I'm not sure what router
application to use. Would you recommend the one that comes with
Fedora?

I'll be using an old 500 MHz Dell Inspiron. I'll have to buy a
wireless NIC for the the router side. Any recommendation for a NIC
that has an antenna on a cable?
