NO Wireless Network (SSID) from my wireless router

Some times we may face issues with receiving wireless network (SSID) from wireless router. We can see other wireless networks in our computer but not the one from our wireless router. I faced such an issue in the previous week at my home. First I thought it is my Laptop adapter's issue as there was no other wireless networks. My desktop was not working due to my last night's experiment. When I came out and went to a hot-spot my Laptop started showing wireless networks. So I understood it is the problem with my wireless router as it may not broadcasting the wireless signals. So when I came back to my room I started troubleshooting the issue. The major steps I performed are described below in a systematic order.
