I do not have the option to to use a wireless router at all help!!!! or to turn on/off airplane mode the options are just non-existent

What device are you using?

You will only have the Airplane mode feature available on a mobile Windows 8 device (ex: laptop, tablet, mobile phone, etc...) that has a wireless network connection (ex: Wi-Fi, mobile broadband, Bluetooth).

I recommend you refer to the following method to turn airplane mode on/off:
