    If you mean connecting PC to router, its called an ethernet cable and there will be one in the box.

    An ethernet cable its slightly chunkier than rj11 cables (modem cable) and you need to have an ethernet socket in the back of your computer

    Amba

    And in the unlikely event your PC doesn't have one, it's usually possible to add an ISA or PCI Ethernet card in a slot within your PC for anywhere from £3-£10.
