FireWall Question Trusted vs. Internet

Home networking question. Two computers sharing a cable connection thru a router. If I set the routers IP(192.168.x.x) address as trusted in my software firewalls on the computers, it makes communication between the computers much easier, but does this also make them more vulnerable to attack from the wan side of the router. Hope this makes sense kind of new at this.
