You can try via Terminal to see if wi-fi is turned off /blocked by using rfkill

Try:

Code:
rfkill list

rfkill unblock all

List will list all items showing whether blocked or not...
Unblock all will, as assumed unblock all items.. Or Unblock # to unblock that specific...

Think of a soft block as turned off, hard block as disabled..
