If the router and entire network IS NOT connected to the Internet, there is no need for a firewall as it blocks packets going in and out... Not staying within.
But, having it installed won't hurt anything and will be helpful in the event that someone decides to get Internet service without telling you.
yeah use the firewall anyway it won't hurt.
