You're half right. You need the router to "split" the connection, but Ethernet does not use all eight wires. It uses the orange pair and the green pair. The blue and brown pairs are not used.
800k is poop slow for cable either way. The router is the least of your worries if that's really your connection speed.
Anyway, the firewall and all can be turned off in the router if you really wanted to do it.
