So you've changed the mode on the router, the next step would be to test it with a computer, to verify that it works as a client. Once that's done, start getting the parts and working through some of the examples. There are PLENTY of examples that involve controlling digital pins with over an ethernet connection. I would however, getting a Wiznet W5100 based ethernet shield for beginners. You're also going to need an Arduino to plug the Ethernet Shield into and actually load and run the sketch.

If you are a beginner, you need to get the w5100 based ethernet shield. Below is some simple tinkering to make a routerbot that might be useful.
