| You should be able to just plug a standard Cat5 network cable into the ethernet port of the laptop/computer and into the router and it'll work.

| The type of cable. Cat5 is just standard ethernet cable. Crossover is another type, but don't use that because it won't work with your modem.

| I think Cat5 uses an RJ45 plug, so yeah you can.
