IPv4 showing 169 address - no internet connection - Help !

I'm hoping someone can help me. Unable to access the internet using the wireless feature on my router, so continue to have to use the ethernet cable. Each time I try to connect to the router after taking out the ethernet cable, it is not allowing me to do so (the password/security key are correct).

I think it is because my wireless IPv4 address is showing up as 169 (instead of 192..) as it preassigns it due to being unable to connect, but have no idea how to change it. Details from my ipconfig/all are (whilst my ehternet cable is attached):
