Wifi network gone after WPS button was pushed

I was prompted to push the WPS button on my router in order to connect my printer wirelessly. The printer setup was completed sucessfully but now when I go on my phone or laptop the name of my network is gone. At first I thooght maybe just the name had been changed and tried some of the other networks that were detect but my password does not work on any. How can I get my network to be recognized by my devices again? The internet on my PC is working fine because it has a direct connection to my modem.

    You might have pushed as well the wireless button.

    See if it comes up when you push again the wireless button on the side.
