Home wifi not visible to MacBook Air Early 2015 OS X El Capitan 10.11.6?

I have been using a wifi connection from a long time, and today all of a sudden it is not visible for the Macbook. I have tried restarting comluter routers and adding removing preferred networks. My mobile and other devices connect easily to the wifi router so I have no reason to think that there is problem in router

Also try turning off Bluetooth.

If your Wi-Fi source is capable of generating a 5 GHz Wi-Fi network, try that to help avoid conflicts with Bluetooth.
