New Belkin Router - still need software firewall?

I just got my hands on a Belkin Wireless G Router (freebie from a work colleague), where previously I've had a crappy USB ADSL modem. I've used Zone Alarm firewall in the past and at the moment I'm using Comodo. Just wondering if there is a need to anymore? I had to go through a series of router hoops to get torrents up and running and to start playing games online so the software firewall seems a little redundant now?

 

Here's a pic of the manual page about the firewall.

Router firewalls are usually pretty damn solid. Unless you let a port be accessed theres usually no way through it.

 

I'd suggest ditching your software firewall now.
