Recently, wifi stopped working. The router was restarted, then it worked for everything except my Asus UX305 laptop. Wired works, and wireless works for my friend's iPhone. Any ideas? Thanks!

Broken drivers?

I've had a similar issue with my eMachines D732Z and it turns out the drivers for the Atheros card was broken...

Edit:

Try booting into a linux live USB and see if it works in there to rule out the possibility of hardware problems...

I know it sounds dumb but check the switch/setting on the laptop and ensure the wireless radio is enabled. A few years ago I literally spent hours troubleshooting broken Wifi... the radio was turned off with a slider on the side.

It connects to wifi elsewhere. Although, the wifi at work is ac as opposed to n at home where the problem is.

It's not that. :)
