All zeros meas something is very wrong.
Whne se3tting up a router for the first fat time, you use the Ethernet port only with just one computer. No wireless or internet.
On the bottom of the case it should give the IP you must use to setup the router.

I noticed in Device Manager you have some devices without drivers. I know you have the driver for your Ethernet installed, but it may help to resolve these issues first.

please provide full details of the router device, model of the device, how are you connected to the device. we need more details man. try resetting your router. did you set your ipv4 settings to a dynamic ip?
