Why does my laptop now refuse to connect to my wireless Fios?

Dell laptop stopped linking to wireless Verizon Fios last night. The wireless card still works (I linked to an 'unlocked' wireless network nearby), but refuses to link to MY wireless. Nothing has changed that I know of, I'm still within the range of my system. It SEES the network; it simply will not LINK to it. I've tried setting the computer back to an earlier 'system restore' point. No luck. I've scanned with McAfee and MalwareBytes; no malware, virus, etc. Anybody have ANY bright ideas? My on-call techie is off this weekend and I need to USE my laptop! Thanks!
