In addition to what TorrentG has already suggested, since your original remarks indicate that you "have just installed Windows 7", if you haven't done so already please go here Link Removed due to 404 Error download and install the proper Win7 driver for the tp-link.
Second, go here Link Removed use this manual to adjust your particular wireless device to be allowed access to the router. I believe you need to expand Home Network , and then Access Point Settings, scroll down and read the portion on Allowing New wireless near the bottom. You may have to explictly allow the new device. Just take your time and read all the relevant information. Also you need to make sure that you are using the proper security key for...

Continue with steps 3 thru 6 and see what happens?
Not familiar enough with that particular device to interpret what type of terminology it will choose to ultimately use to define the connections.
In a very broad sense WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) could also be consider Ethernet since ultimately the terminus or backbone will probably be some type of wire, but generally are seperate terminology to help with clarification, and to differentiate between the actual infrastructure technology.

Most routers have a page specifically for DHCP. Look for that and go to it. That page will probably have the setting for enabled or disabled.

Good catch TG.
I just assumed that the missing IP address was a result of the pending addition of the mac address being allowed to solicit an address.

Reboot your pc.

OR

Open an elevated command prompt. Type this command then hit enter:

Code: 
ipconfig /renew
Try the connection after doing either.

The documentation for the device should explain the lights and what they mean. The fact that the WLAN light isn't on could mean anything from the actual radio being disabled to and more likely, nothing is connected wirelessly and there is no wireless activity.
It seems you are close to resolving your issue, but still missing something important.
You need to make sure that when you make changes that you note the previous condition or setting so you can change it back if need be.
You need to make sure that after these changes you apply and or save them by selecting the proper button or link.
Sometimes after some changes, some routers require a reboot before the changes actually are able to take place, I know on some netopia routers this is indicated in the top right as a pending task. In any event if shouldn't hurt to turn off the router and unplug the power for a couple minutes, then plug it back in and boot it back up (if it's even got an on/off switch) some routers actually allow you to do this from within the interface.
You have the documentation / user guide, and the means to even start from the beginning if need be. We're kinda flying semi-blind on our end. If this device was actually provided to you, by your ISP, perhaps a phone call to them may actually help, I know it probably wouldn't hurt.

Presumeably, you have encryption enabled on the router which will require them to enter a hex key or pass phrase in order to do so. Or I suspect you can change it back to the original setting and my guess (and it's only a guess) current registered computers will be preserved.
You need to spend more time with the documentation and the router interface to become more comfortable with the various settings.
