No, you do not need a special card to connect a router to your computer. As long as you have a network connection, a CAT-5 Ethernet network connection especially, you can use your router.
Just make sure you have the WAN/Internet connection connected to your DSL or Cable Modem and all the other connections to the rest of your computers, and everything should work fine.

you do need an ethernet card which you probably have.
Or a wireless NIC/USB adapter if it is a wireless router and you want to use it wireless
