I use a BT Router wirelessly with my Mac Mini....
The Router has a supposed "built-in" firewall which, at present, is showing as being active...
My Mac also shows a firewall activated via System Preferences / Security...
Thanks.

Many thanks for the quick response Lanny....I will leave things as they are in that case....🙂
Generally the OS X firewall is off by default. The assumption would be that most folks are behind a router. Since you have a MacMini, I would recommend turning it off.
If you had a laptop and used it outside of your home wifi network, I would recommend turning it on. And, if you left it on, you wouldn't have to remember to turn it on when you were traveling.
How many firewalls...?
