I am not that tech smart,so if anyone has a simple,straight forward fix I would be grateful.
Forget the router , it is a red herring.
something is blocking the use of 8080 (it could be in use or a firewall is stopping it)

At the command prompt
type: netstat -a
see if 8080 is in use

In your firewall: set calibre-server as an allowed program (specify the port if permitted)
