I have had wireless internet for a while, and everything has worked fine. Now, My laptop, and all back room tvs, cant find my name on wi fi connection, so I cant connect. Anyone that comes over can still connect their tablets. My main TV that runs Netflix through internet in the living room still works, but nothing else does. I can't figure out what has gone wrong.

Same thing happened to me some years ago, my trusty old E1200 was able to supply WIFI my townhome without any problem until my neighbors started getting WIFI routers en masse. Possible that is now happening to you, I would give your router a good reset, log into it and check your settings. Then get an app called "WIFI Analyzer" on either Android or on a windows laptop (available in the MS store) and use it while walking around your house (namely near the devices you mentioned) and see how your signal is at various points in your home. Good guide to that here (shameless CNET link). No lie, I can see over 75 WIFI access points in my app using the cheapest amazon fire tablet!

My endgame these days is disabling my Fios Quantum's...

My endgame these days is disabling my Fios Quantum's WIFI and using a dedicated AP (an enterprise-grade Unifi AC-AP-LR model) which works flawlessly.
