Setting up a cisco router to a switch for small homelab, seller provided a rollover cable, what else do I need to setup this router?

Hey guys, I bought a cisco router and a cisco switch and when I plug the cable going from ISP router into the cisco router, no link lights show up. The seller provided a rollover cable, and I read somewhere that this is this way by default and you have to configure the router to work on your network.

What do I need to go from ISP equipment -> Router -> Switch?

Do I need a RS232 to usb cable so I can remote into the router to configure it?

I'm super new to network equipment so go easy on me lol. Thanks!
