Your yellow cable from your router has nowhere to fit in your computer you have a netgear 4 port router?
'Yellow' is descriptive but does not identify the cable. A description of the ends of the cable would be helpful. However, if your computer is connected to the network then the yellow cable is unnecessary. It may be a management cable or an alternative connection. If your computer is not connected to the network then it is likely that the yellow cable is the rj-45 connection and that you need to install a network card for your computer.
Do you have to hook the router up to a computer?
No - a router can connect to a computer, another router, a switch, a hub, a bridge or a modem. If you are connecting to the Internet via DSL or cable company you will need a modem/router to connect to them. You then attach your computer (or computers) to that router. Routers are useful because they make decisions about which way a packet of data goes - this network or this network? If you have one network that doesn't go anywhere (connect to the Internet or another network) a router is of no use to you and a switch generally does wonderfully and is cheaper than a router.
