Windows Phone not connecting automatically to home Wifi

I have a Lumia 620 running on Windows 8.1, Denim. Usually when I pull down the Action Centre screen and click on the Wifi button, it automatically connects to my home Wifi.

However this morning, instead of connecting, it simply said "Available". Went into Settings, my home wifi is listed, but not connected. Manually connected by typing in password, however, a note appeared saying that my phone cannot connect to Wifi Network (my home system).

Did a soft reset, rebooted the modem/router a few times, turned my phone on and off, still no difference. Haven't tried connecting to another Wifi System yet. Since I don't have data, that's not a big concern for me.

Everyone else's devices are connecting just fine (including my laptop) except for my Lumia.

Any ideas on how to remedy this, barring a hard reset back to factory settings?

What you could try is.
Go to settings > wifi > manage > under known network delete your network and add it again.
Furthermore try to connect to another wifi network .
With this you can determine if it's your phone or router.
