It really depends on your router, some have better firewalls than others. And you probably need to be aware of any upgrades to the router's firmware, to ensure that any little bugs that might be found are patched.

The true belt and braces approach is to have hardware firewall in your router, and software firewalls on your PC(s). I tend just to rely on my router, which is only a basic Linksys Wireless thing.
