As I see your wifi is soft-blocked and hard blocked. Please firslty make sure that the wifi switch is set to "on". If you don't have a specific button for that, you should do it by a combination of keys. For example, in my dell laptop the combination is Fn+F2. So, after you made sure that the wifi switch is "on", open terminal and write

Code:
sudo rfkill unblock all
and hit <enter>. Give your password and hit enter again.

And tell me if that helped.
