Can't understand why I can't detect wireless network

I formatted yesterday,

reinstalled wireless network drivers, made sure the wireless "switch" on the laptop was turned on and kept refreshing. The wireless network can't be found (it was found before formatting).

any ideas?

Maybe your firewall is blocking it.Does it work connected by cable?

did you disable SSID broadcasting?

Thanks,

SSID broadcasting was turned off on the router

I wonder why it turned itself off?

Best to leave it off IMO. I do, prevents neighbours nicking my bandwidth
