Can't Connect to my Home Wifi

I've been able to connect to my home wifi for over a year without a single glitch, then suddenly yesterday I randomly couldn't. When I try I get an error message from windows (windows 8) saying it cannot connect to this wifi, but no error explanation why. I've had it set up to auto connect with the password saved forever. I've tried resetting the router, uninstalling and reinstalling my wireless card, having my computer forget the wifi, and releasing and renewing my ip address. My computer works fine on other wifi's still, and works perfectly when connected directly to router (which I am currently connected to on the SPECCY). All of my other devices work fine on the network and haven't experienced a single hiccup.

I ran SPECCY and here is my networking tab, and I am trying to connect to the RxHome network
