How old is the WiFi router? The WiFi transmitter often fails after 4 or 5 years.
Is it possible to test the laptop with a different router - say a the library or a coffee shop that offers free wifi.
You might do a factory reset of the router. But, then you will need to reset the security/ID settings.
Windows 7 has a "troubleshoot problems" program - go to
Control Panel - Network and Internet - Network and sharing Center and select "Troubleshoot Problems"
Good Luck
