the other day, everything went fine. no problem. now all of a sudden my wireless is useless. help!

update:
ok if i disable SSID broadcast my wireless just cant detect anything. but if i enable broadcast i see an available signal .

That's typical - SSID is the announcing feature - i.e. your wireless access point says "I'm here, I'm called ....."
With this switched off, your wifi network won't just "find" the WAP, you have to manually enter the SSID to connect to.
