Jump to PostRead your documentation carefully. Wireless routers need to be configured by a machine that is directly connected to it (with a CAT5/network cable).

So i should set it up with an ethernet cable as i wired connection first, is that what your saying?

Exactly. You cannot do the initial setup on a wireless router using a wireless connection. On that subject, you should never change router configuration settings using a wireless connection since you run a risk of kicking yourself off of the router.
