Need help! My Asus laptop won't show available wifi networks?

Hey! My Asus laptop X553M is running on windows 10! I powered it up today and it won't show any available wifi networks, just a symbol for an Ethernet cable with a red "x" on the bottom of the screen. I've tried everything from resetting my network connections but nothing is working and I need the wifi up and running as soon as possible! Unsure if I should buy a wireless adapter to fix this problem (even though connecting to wifi has worked for over a year on this laptop). Any help would be appreciated, thanks!!

mikaylacallery , Make sure you are not in airplane mode, which disables WiFi. You could also try system restore to an earlier date when WiFi was working correctly to see if that helps. Another thing to try, go into settings,device manager, click network adapters, then click on the adapter that is your wireless WiFi. uninstall driver. Then right click on network adapters and click search for network adapters, it should automatically install it back. Try WiFi settings and connect. This is only one of the solutions from link below that you can try to fix your issue. 1st 2nd link troubleshooting WiFi, 3rd link is your manual. Good luck.

Like others suggested, I would try to reinstall your network drivers. If that doesn't work, I would just buy an external usb wifi card. They are a cheap and easy solution, which could offer better performance depending on the wifi chip that came preinstalled on your laptop.
