What kind of router/modem connector do I need for this internet line? I want to set up a WiFi connection from my house. I got a DSL modem but I’m told this won’t be able to connect to the line in my house (which works via a TV socket?)

Cable modem
The same antenna wire that works for a TV will work there. You just need a modem that you can plug an antenna wire into. It would be strange if a hardware/electronics store did not carry at least one router model that has such an interface on it.
There might be another outlet for dsl. It has three pins and it was originally used for a phone. You can usually connect a RJ11 cable to that which connects to the modem.
The connector looks usually like this: https://www.karkkainen.com/verkkokauppa/nedis-adsl-suodin-rj11-puhelinpistoke
Would that work?
If you need to ask, go with the equipment provided by your operator.
On a side note:
That Schuko socket looks a little out of spec. It should be deeper because it allows touching the contact while still inserted to socket.
Yes yes I will leave now…
You need to get the network connection from the provider. They will tell you what you need. Asking here is basically a shot in the dark.
Are you a hardcore internet user or just a “basic surfer”?
Depending on your ISP, I got a cable modem spare for sale. Keep in mind that you can not just get any cable modem randomly. It has the be a specific one and also the device has to be linked with your contract.
If you don’t care about the cost and just want the internet to work, call your ISP and they will ship the correct device plus do all the needful
