I've been using a mega 105wr router to connect to the internet using default settings with wireless enabled. I figure someone hacked my pc and tampered with my file permissions. Everytym i view options for security permissions theres a group that flashes for a second then dissapears. At the time i had made the mistake of using outdated antivirus software but since then i've reinstalled windows, install virus scan,and turned off wireless. There are still intrusions through my router to my files.

Why do you think there are "intrusions through my router to my files".

Comodo Firewall is a freeware. It will block unauthorized access.
Also change the default password on your router.

But first do a clean install of Windows.
Don't try a repair install - chances are that the malware (if there's any) will still remain.

change that, never ever keep default settings.
Its less likely that you got hacked and more likely you are a victim of a 13yr old script kiddie.
Get decent Av, stop browsing porn....ok i take that last one back
+1, also remove autorun on ur system and pre-scan anything you have used/written in the last decade.

Doesnt sound like a hack attempt. I doubt a hacker would ever bother with changing file permissions. Sounds more like malware on your machine. Update your AV and run a full scan. Also install malwarebytes and run a full scan. Install autoruns and remove any junk that autostarts.
