Q: Wifi will not connect

I have a late 2014 mini. When I went to use it yesterday for first time in a few days, the wifi wasn't connected. When I tried to connect, it said it couldn't connect to my router and wanted to run diagnostics, which it did but went to writing the file when done. I deleted the network in Network Settings. In the wifi connect icon it listed the network with a strong signal. It asked for the password when I tried to connect, but then said it couldn't connect and wanted to run the diagnostics. Other devices use the same router both wired and wireless, so I doubt it is the router. The signal is fine, the computer is in a loft with router down below and there has been no problem in this location for years. I rebooted with hardware diagnostics and it couldn't find anything. Any ideas? Can I do anything with the report it generated? I don't see anything in Apple help about what to do with it.

Mac mini (Late 2014), OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)
