Did you set your router in WPA2 wireless security instead of old WEP?

Have you tried rebooting your router?

It sounds like a router problem if multiple devices cannot connect.

My first suggestion would be to reboot the router.

As already suggested, try rebooting the router first.
Also check whether you've turned on "Hide SSID" function on your router's administration page.

Any link for that please?

The SSID won't get hidden unless someone explicitly set it so.
Anyway, the procedure would vary from router to router.
1. Login to your router's page using any ethernet connected PC (192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1. Check the manual.) The user name and password would generally be "admin" , "password"
2. Go to the tab labelled as Wireless or its equivalent.
3. Find for some option like "Enable SSID broadcast". Turn it off.

The name or password is not working

What's your router model? Also try out "admin" as both username and password.
Check out the user manual, it would contain the details.
On a side note, had the username and/or password has been changed manually, you need to ask the one who has changed it!

Just unplug the power to it for a couple of minutes, then plug it back in. There's a pretty good chance that's all you'll need to do.

I thought you had already rebooted the device! Please do it first. Most probably that should fix the problem. The other's are just hit and trial methods.
TP Link's support page states the username and password as admin. What can I do if I forget the login password of TP-LINK Wireless Router? - Welcome to TP-LINK
Download for TL-WR941ND V5 - Welcome to TP-LINK
Most probably it has been changed during its initial setup.

Happened to me yesterday, I got a D-Link (co-op of Tp-Link)

Simply rebooted the phone, no soft reset. Rebootin router and checking advanced menus confirmed nothing changed

If rebooting doesn't solve it and you can't log in to it to check settings etc. then you can still do a factory reset which will restore the unit back to it's factory defaults, which also means it will revert back to the default username and password, so you could then log in and set up the WiFi again. It's not a DSL router so you don't have to worry about a broadband username and password normally on that type of internet connection. The button for the factory reset is located on the rear of the unit, press it for about 10 seconds to reset the router.

If the reboot and factory reset don't work then I'm afraid the WiFi chipset is well and truly gone.

However if you have to intermittently reset/reboot it to get WiFi back... this would indicate the WiFi chipset is on the verge of dying out.

I imagine it's the latter and it may not be long until the ethernet ports follow.

Wireless N routers are quite cheap, so if it does need replacing, it's not too bad... Not as bad as having to replace a DSL router which is more money due to them having an internal modem as well.
