Ethernet

I was told by a rep that I could purchase an Ethernet cable at Wal-mart. But what kind? I do not want to get one from Directv because they will not refund the money if it does not work. I do not have Internet service in my home, only a Wi-Fi connection from my brother next door. Any help would be appreciated.

If you do not have internet service with a modem you will not be able to have access, but if you do then you need to just get the regular cable ethernet card depending on the length that you need.
