WiFi Problems, can anyone please Help?

This morning we had a thunderstorm hitting the local area, and our wifi does appear not to be working. I turned my laptop on before and got no connection, no wifi connections can't be detected. I normally get my wifi and next doors wifi which is secruity connected, but none of those networks have shown up. When I selected my laptop to do a scan it said connect the LAN cabole in, which I did and we still have internet (Hence why I am doing this). My Andriod phone has interent as I went onto facebook. But my PS3 cannot detect any signal. On the WiFi box I have noticed all the green lights are on, but the green lights beside the internet, LAN and WLAN/WPS are all flashing I think it has something to do with the WLAN/WPS, whatever that means. Can anyone please help, sort out my problem.

Update:

My mums laptop is detecting our wifi and next doors, as do all mobiles and PS3's it is just my PC that is not DETECTING anything.

    Have you tried to restart the router? Give a try!

    "Press the Reset button" Nah, check you've got the right security settings, such as if its WPA2 and such, check it is supportive of the PS3 and any devices you are trying to connect it to. It could be that you have too much connected to the wifi that the router cannot handle it?

    Also, if all else fails, completely turn it off, unplug it etc, then reboot. Hope it works :)

    I had the same problem last week. try unplugging everything for about 20 seconds plug it back and see if it works. If not then just contact your wifi company. They tell you step by step.
