it will come with an adaptor/filter to fit in the phone socket, the router will either be wireless or have cat5 sockets on the back (usually both)

You've possibly got a cable broadband router (usually usb/ethernet connectors), in which case you'll need an ADSL router with the phone input socket.

i know on the back of the linksys one there is only cat 5 ports
