OK: Stream is the brand name for a Sky Television subscription service which requires an internet connection.
Stream itself is not any form of broadband, and doesn't provide connectivity for its own use or for other devices.
If you placed an order for Sky Broadband at the same time as the one for Sky Stream (there's almost always an option for this) then they'll send the Stream Puck hardware next day, but a Sky Broadband service has a minimum two week lead time. The Installation/Activation date is notified by email.
If you didn't order Sky Broadband and the property otherwise doesn't have an internet connection from another ISP then the puck is entirely without function until that is sourced from somewhere.

Do you have a mobile? How is it connected to your router?

Wifi passwords are usually found on a sticker on the underneath or back of your router. If you still can't find it then you would need to connect an ethernet cable from the stream puck to your router in order to connect to the internet.

What form of broadband are you intending to use? Without some kind of internet connection (at an adequate speed) a Stream puck is entirely useless.

You say you just bought a stream puck, where did you get it from? Sky dont sell the pucks they loan then to you as part of a subscription.

Yes I have a mobile phone but it's not showing in it. And it's a stream puck.

Hi @Sheilababy
Do you have a broadband internet connection? Your puck will not function without one. How do you access the internet home?

Nobody here knows who supplies the broadband to your property. You need to find out this information and find the WiFi password otherwise it will be impossible to connect the Stream puck to your broadband.
If someone gave you a 'free' Stream puck then even with a broadband connection it will be useless without a paid for subscription to Sky's streaming service.

....and if the Puck was loaned by Sky to the previous owner, they need to return it. They can't pass it on to someone else.
