Hi all. I need an Ethernet cable that goes from one of these ends to the other. What would I call it so that I can search for it and buy it on the internet?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks all - turns out I was being really dense. Thanks to the commenters who helped me sort out my thickness!

    Yeah, those are both definitely normal Ethernet jacks. Neither takes a phone cable. You should just need a normal Ethernet line.

        Did it work? As I said, the ports on the router look a little weird, but if a normal network cable plugged into them then you’re good.

        As others have said, you weren’t being dense at all. Your question wasn’t stupid, just a little misguided, and it was very quick for us to figure it out with just a little bit of back and forth. I wish all tech support was this efficient!

        BTW, if anything I was being a bit rude when I said I wasn’t sure why you thought the other end needed to be different. Apologies for that. Looking at the photo of the router you sent around the same time, I can see why you thought that, it really does look different.

        Just a little squat. More than tall enough for an rj45 to plug in though. I think they look a little tight because it doesn’t have the same amount of bezel as a lot of boxes will have around the ports.
