“no connections are available” but other devices still connect

[whathandsdo]

hi! hope someone can help me figure this out. when i try to connect to wifi it say “no connections are available” and when i run troubleshooting it says i need to plug in an ethernet cable which i’ve never needed before. all my other devices are still connected. i haven’t moved the laptop from the location it’s always been, and i haven’t downloaded or deleted anything recently, or done anything i don’t normally do.

i googled the most common fixes but no luck. i’ve already checked to make sure i’m not on airplane mode. i’ve tried resetting the router, and restarting the laptop. and i’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the network adapter. please advise.
