Is more protection needed for PCs when Armor runs on my Orbi?

I recently installed said router and activated Armor, thinking what a clever idea it is to run AV software in the router and not in each PC! But is it? Can a lowly little router work fast enough to purge malware from two or more users' surfing away?

 

What actually are its strengths and weaknesses and will my wife need more antimalware on her Windows device? The rest of the kit here are Macs and iThings which seem to be less at risk.
