OK cool. On the back of that unit are four RJ-45 jacks. And somewhere on your computer is an identical RJ-45 jack. You'll know it when you see it because it is like your phone jack, except wider.
You are perfectly free to buy an Ethernet cable, male-to-male RJ45 and plug one end into that Netgear and the other end into your puter. These are the most common of cables, widely available in computer stores and office maxen and such. You can get 3 foot, 6 foot, 10 foot, 25 foot whatever you need. You don't need the most expensive one. Anything "Cat 5" or above will be fine.
So if the system starts going out again, it might be a good idear to wire it up wired, and reboot and see if that fixes it straightaway. You may be near something or a neighbor that causes wireless interference.
