I was browsing imgur and downloading a steam game in the background when my internet status suddenly changed to "limited". I disconnected in an attempt to reconnect, and now my Wi-Fi is broken. The symptoms are;
1) Usually when I turn on Airplane mode, the Wi-Fi option disappears until I turn it back off. That is no longer the case-it is constantly present.
2) The Wi-Fi constantly says "No networks found", regardless of status.
3) Every time I try to turn the Wi-Fi on (by clicking the Wi-Fi tab), it grays out while a swirly dotted circle appears, then switches back to "off" mode
4) My downstairs desktop temporarily got put on limited status, but is now fine.
5) All other Wi-Fi-capable devices in my house work perfectly, including my old, broken toshiba laptop.
6) I ran a total virus scan with avg, making sure to scan all files regardless of type. Nothing came up.
