Hi J,
Sorry to hear about that! First off let me direct you to the H9000R addendum in case you haven't already seen it. It has lots of useful info about connecting the R specifically:

You can certainly just use an ethernet connection, you'll just need an ethernet cable. You can connect the R to your local network (to which your computer must also be connected), or I believe connect directly to your computer, although I've seen problems with the direct connection before.
Sorry that this is happening right on the eve of the holidays. Do let us know how you get on, though.
