How to troubleshoot a WI-PI

Hey folks, my WI-PI only worked for one Day, I got it up and running yesterday, and today the blue LED wo'nt even light up. Can anyone suggest a troubleshooting method?

The easiest may be to double-check your wi-fi password by (say) trying to connect a smartphone/tablet/laptop or something to your Wi-Fi network, so that it is 100% confirmed what settings work.
It really should be as easy as https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/ so if this isn't working, I suspect it is a password issue.
(I'm assuming your router is configured for WPA2 (or WPA-PSK) and not WEP. If you're using WEP (obsolete 10 years ago) then it needs replacing).
Alternatively, for now just use an Ethernet cable plugged directly from the Raspberry Pi to one of the switch ports on your router, but that is merely a temporary option until you get the wi-fi password sorted, if the
location of the router is inconvenient.
