It's probably all been said, but here goes:
If you look at the pic of your player on the 'Step 3' screen at the link that Colin gave in post #5, you'll see that at the right of the player there's the Wi-Fi fan-shaped symbol showing the presence of a Wi-Fi network to which the player is not yet connected. (some of the fan shaped bars are shown as greyed out. If a device - a laptop, i-pad whatever, is connected to a Wi-Fi network, all the bars of the fan-shaped symbol would be solid black until you've entered the security key).
If at stage 3 you don't see a network symbol on the set-up screen, it means you haven't got one (as it seems you don't have). If you had, you'd only need to enter the Wi-Fi security key (on the underside of the router) to get the Blu-ray player to connect to the network.
As has been said, it sounds like a new (wireless) router is called for to replace the wired one which presumably you've had for some years now Colin. Should you ever wish to, with a wireless router as well as your Blu-ray player, you could then use laptop, I-pad or similar wi-fi enabled device.
So - seems like you don't have Wi-Fi security key Colin - just that big key in your back, which I think has been overwound of late!
