Why won't my iphone connect to home Wi-Fi?

My iphone (new. 5s. IOS7) doesn't pick up my home Wi-Fi anymore. Like, my laptop is connected so i know it's not the Wi-Fi but when i go to Wi-Fi settings, the name of my Wi-Fi network doesn't show up. How should i fix this? I've already tried reseting my network settings.

Can you check to see if any other devices can connect to your network?
Verify that your device can conect to another Wi-Fi network, ie; an open network at starbucks or the library.
Download the latest firmware for your router, you can go to the routers manufacture website or there's usually a link within the routers settings. (if you have the routers software installed on your computer, you can access the settings and software update link)
If all else fails, you can reset the router, this different than simply restarting it. You will need a pin or paperclip to press the reset button usually found on the back or sometimes on the bottom of router.
Please NOTE: Resetting the router will delete all current settings including securtiy and reset them to their factory default settings.
But this will isloate any issues that may be associated with your current settings including security. You can reconfigure your router with the settings you perfer after determining that the issue is with the router or not.
If all this fails, your device may have a bad network card and needs to be replaced.
