"Won't let me" doesn't tell us where you have problems. What are you doing and where does it go wrong?
You can set up a router without using the mobile app.
Manuals are always a good place to start.
Visit the support pages:

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
Look for the model number on the label on the device.
Begin with the Quick Start/Installation Guide.
If that doesn't help. check the manual.

The mobile app will not work. It takes me to the admin login page and when i enter my password, it immediately says "login timed out please try again." After the factory reset, it wont let me continue past that page. I dont know what else i can do seeing that i cant connect to the router with my laptop. I totally lost here.

That's just one of dozens of conversations on the same topic.
The good news is that you do not need any app to set up a router. Indeed, the app is possibly the worst way of going about it, despite Netgear's exhortations.
I already provided one link that should have offered some clues.
Here is another one:
