The problem with the config editor is fixed. Network name is set to "ANY" and Operation mode to "infrastructure", but I cannot surf the net. Wham am I missing
If your access point IP is 192.168.2.101, then the wireless lan connection is working and it's access point's or router's issue that you can't surf on the net.
Perhaps you didn't configure it well.
