You're on the wrong forum section for your model of router, nevertheless i'll address some of your points:
- If you can't connect to WiFi, you can connect to your router via ethernet to set it up. This is standard accross networking products.

But yes unless you're using an XR300, XR450, XR500 or XR700, this is the wrong forum section.
see it would be that easy if it worked i have it currently plugged into the port and it wont even register that its plugged in so i cant access it that way...
