Router inquiry

(11:25pm as of posting, I could be flailing mentally right now)

Okay, give me some assurance here since a new router arrived a few days ago. My family agreed on the idea of getting a router some time ago so that I can share some internet for the household and it just arrived and I'm installing it tomorrow. I'm quite fond of my reliable wired broadband connection, I'm very worried about it. I believe firmly in performance reduction, increasing a river's width will decrease it's depth. Before you say that it depends on the router, my stepmother said that she got it from a reliable source(FUCK THAT SHIT) Is it good enough to divert my direct feed from my laptop to it? Also, most of the other devices using the connection will be iPads/iPhones, along with another laptop generally used for web browsing.

The router in question is a Cisco Linksys E1200- you know the rest.

I just checked before posting this, online reviews worry me, I assume at times I will (selfishly) turn off the router and go for a direct connection or not even bother at all (but then I have to face consequences). If not, how do I make it suck less and make the most out of it? I'm going to sleep and hopefully enjoy the replies tomorrow.

If you have a decent enough connection it will hardly make a difference.

Most people share (wired) internet with at least two or three others.
