Hi,
if you cannot  findt your router by your pc and mobile then you have issue with your router,
try to staind near by to your router and see you can find your router in your phone if you able to find your router wifi singnals near by then
use these steps
for Wireless Issue
try these steps to check internet connectivity of your laptop, desktop or phone
go to RUN type cmd
a black window will pop up
type there ping www.google.com -t     (ping space www.google.com space -t)
if you can ping the google then you are connected to internet if its not pinging to google then chk your router connectivity
Try these steps to check connctivity with router
go to RUN type cmd
black pop window will open
type there ipconfig /all
there you will get an IP address assigned to your wifi network adaptor
see the picture
You have to ping your gateway it could be 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 or something etc.
go to RUN tye cmd   type there  ping 192.168.xxx.xxx -t ( ping space 192.168.xxx.xxx space -t)
as you can see mine is 172.90.91.1 and i am pinging it.
if you are getting pings  with time=1 ms then you are getting good strength
or your ping time is between 1 ot 99 then its ok if its 100 or above then you will get problem surfing internet.
if need any help ask it..
if you are not getting your router wifi signals while standing near by to your router then porblem could be your router, may be wireless is disabled or something else,
try to reconfigure your router.
Hope this helps!
