Looking at the setup it's for hooking up to a computer.

Its an ethernet cable…  use it the same as you would any other internet cable.  No, it does not go into a phone jack.

It's basically a direct line from your router to the device your using and usually more stable and sometimes faster speeds. My router isn't close enough to connect the ethernet to my tv or laptop but my WiFi works well enough so I don't use it for now.

can I hard wire this gateway to my PC ?  I have wireless capabilities, but the signal is constantly disconnecting,. and its very frustrating.  If I cannot connect the gateway directly to my PC,. I am afraid this device is not for me, and I will have to send everything back and go back to a new internet provider.

Yes.  Just connect an ethernet cable to the ethernet ports on your gateway and your PC's ethernet port or adapter. On the 5G gateway, it's a gigabit port, so you'll want to use a 5e or newer cable, if your pc has a gigabit port. Cat 6 cables are pretty affordable now, so I never go lower than that.
