anyone can help?

I'd be glad to help you, as I have taken courses on networking.

Please tell me what kind of router you are using. Then, connect to your local host by going to:

http://192.168.2.1 or http://192.168.1.1 in your browser. (one will work.)

Then go to 'Wireless settings'

Please report back with:
-The router you are using.
-A screenshot of your wireless settings.

Try restarting your router and modem again ^__^
