My windows 7 all of a sudden can not detect MY wifi, but can detect others

Good afternoon, I have a Windows 7 laptop hooked up, it has detected my wifi fine, and all of a sudden, after doing a reset on my Xfinity router, the laptop stopped detecting my wifi.

My other devices, phones, tablets, and others who reside in the same house can still detect the wifi but it is only my laptop. I have tried to manually connect to my wifi using "Connect to other networks," which asks my network name, and SSID, but it prompts saying it can not be connected.

I attempted to go into it deeper by manually connecting to my wireless connection, but it is coming up with "The network already exists" and it gives me 2 options, either to find another network to connect to, or connect to it on the list of networks detected, but it does not detect mine.

I have also uninstalled the drivers and restarted. Still cannot detect it, it happened all of a sudden.
