Should I enable or disable the firewall if I'm using an external router?

For all intents and purposes you're behind a double-NAT on satellite.
Unless you have hackers in your house using your local LAN, I wouldn't worry about the firewall much. Think they just included it because it was part of the router firmware.
Think you're safe leaving it disabled, unless you want to use the parental features, etc. underneath it.

Eek! I didn't even realize that I had left mine on from back when we were trying to figure out the whole Parental Control thing with blocking specific websites. Never could get that to work right. :(
