YES, CAT 5e actually. And it should have the 8P8C modular connector or "RJ-45".

If you have a wireless router, you need no cables at all.
All wired routers that I am familiar with require Cat5 type cabling.

You could use any medium capable of carrying IP. That could be SLIP or PPP over RS232, Token ring, 802.17 RPR, 802.16, 802.11, SONET, T1, E1 etc. etc.
It rather depends on the interfaces you have on your router.
If you mean a cheap router box you got from a computer store, then yes, it's likely an 802.3 interface demanding cat 5 cable.

you need cat5 with RJ45 ends, probably just like your first PC
