You sir, are my life saver. Standing ovation to you.
For me it was f2! I had tried a new card, a usb wifi connection and even reinstall of os. Nothing worked! I must have bumped those keys when cleaning my keyboard.
Thank you to this site and the forum as well.

First check if the WiFi card drivers are up to date and working properly. If they are then check the WiFi card is properly connected to the motherboard, and if it is connected well and still not working then you have to replace the WiFi card. here is the guide Alienware M14x R2 Wi-Fi Card Replacement

i will assume u are using windows. can you see if the wireless card detects available connections?
if yes, uninstall the driver, re-scan for hardware (or re-start), windows will re-install the driver, try again or do a diagnostics first.
if not, run anti-virus software and also try wire (as already suggested by a previous answer) to see if you can get an ip to connect to the internet.
P.S It would be good to know the OS so when i answer i can give you more tips. e.g like run msconfig and disable all entries except microsoft.
Also start in safe mode with networking.
if you have windows 10 (i can give you the instructions to get in safe mode but i don't want to confuse u) so you can google for this so while at ur pc you can follow the instructions.

Have you turnt the wireless on and off? Is the router turnt on? have you tried connecting via ethernet? Have you updated the driver?

Do you have anything else that can connect to the WiFi AP? If so the issue is within your laptop. Check your settings comparing them to your other working systems.

are you able to see if the wireless card detects your SSID and others?
if so, first remove the driver (if windows asks delete files say no) an re-scan for network devices. Try to connect and if you can't run anti-virus software. Malware and avast i recommend.
