Hope that helps.

no, that isn't so
In fact you are probably best avoiding the CD if it keeps confusing the issue, in my opinion
You need to log into the internal router control panel with just the cable modem, router & your pc connected via ethernet cable
http://192.168.1.1
Should get you to that page, user name & password is 'admin'
Then the options you need are 'obtain an IP address automatically' & 'DHCP server 'enable' ' - then make sure the options are saved then turn it all off & reboot the modem first, then the router, then the pc - allow at least 30 seconds between initialising each - and it 'should' work.
Then sort out the wireless stuff, which I can't help with , sorry
