Laptop Not Seeing Any Wireless Networks?

The other day my computer nearly died on me, and I ended up having to call HP. They told me to load up the computer's last good configuration from the advanced boot menu, which I did, and the laptop was saved.

Only problem is, now it won't pick up wireless networks. Right now I'm tethering from my phone, but that Wi-Fi only goes up to a certain degree.

Anyone have any idea what's wrong?

Then, no rely if it remains no longer seen, carry out a reset of your router back to production unit default settings by the reset button on the back or backside of your router. refer on your router's documentation for specific classes as to a thank you to do this. watch for it to cycle on lower back.
