Yeah, those are both definitely normal Ethernet jacks. Neither takes a phone cable. You should just need a normal Ethernet line.

RJ45 to be specific. RJ11 is phone

  Did it work? As I said, the ports on the router look a little weird, but if a normal network cable plugged into them then you’re good.
  
  As others have said, you weren’t being dense at all. Your question wasn’t stupid, just a little misguided, and it was very quick for us to figure it out with just a little bit of back and forth. I wish all tech support was this efficient!
  
  BTW, if anything I was being a bit rude when I said I wasn’t sure why you thought the other end needed to be different. Apologies for that. Looking at the photo of the router you sent around the same time, I can see why you thought that, it really does look different.

The router ports are too short, wtf is that?

  Just a little squat. More than tall enough for an rj45 to plug in though. I think they look a little tight because it doesn’t have the same amount of bezel as a lot of boxes will have around the ports.
