Yesterday, I turned on my laptop to find out that I couldn't connect to any wifi networks. Every time I try looking for networks it says "No networks found". I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling my network adapters but that has not helped. I could connect to any network before yesterday. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

If you don't know how, then you didn't do it :)

Also check to make sure that the option in the router home page, something like "Show SSID" or such, is on and not off. You want to see the network name being broadcast. Some people turn this off after everything is set up and working for security.

I don't understand what you mean from the last bit of your response?

Assuming you have N or AC, you can adjust the driver settings to allow dual band, or single band, and if its single band, you could have switched it to 5ghz and maybe there are no APs in range.

Do you have a physical switch for the wireless radio on your laptop?

There is no switch on my laptop, as far as I'm aware. And how might I adjust the driver settings?
(Sorry for not responding for a while.)
