It shouldn't really be necessary to use the setup wizard. especially for wired connections. Get it going wired first, then go to wireless.

Do a reset to factory on the router then power off everything, modem, router and computers.

Connect modem to router WAN port. Connect computer to router LAN port. Boot up modem and let settle, boot up router and let settle, boot up computer and there should be a connection. If that isn't working recheck the ethernet cable leads you are using, and also your network card on your computer is set to receive an automatic IP address.
