      @Reignman sounds like a hardware issue. Do you get the same behaviour off a standard Raspbian install?

        @markyh444 Yes also of a fresh install. So that's what I'm afraid for that's it's hardware related. Although I don't understand why this was in the past also but back then I got it working again temporary ...

          Can you run dmesg, taken after a cold boot, and post it on pastebin.com ?

            @mitu Yes but how do I save and export this info without network on my pi?

              @Reignman Save it on the boot partition.

              dmesg | sudo tee  /boot/dmesg.txt
              

              Then take the sdcard out of the Pi and read the file from your PC.

                    @undrwater Please don't hijack a topic - start a new topic. You're running a Raspberry Pi2 - which doesn't have built in wifi btw. So you need a dongle.

                      Wow. Talk about assumptions. I would have sworn I was using the Pi 3. Thanks for the heads up!

                            Doesn't seem to be anything Wi-Fi related (Bluetooth included). Maybe they're blocked ? Can you run

                            sudo rfkill list all
                            

                            and post the output ? Does it detect any Wifi interfaces ?
                            Did you disable the Wifi/Bt via config.txt on your Pi ?

                                      It's most likely a hardware failure.
                                      Just to be sure there's nothing disabled, post your config.txt.

                                        @mitu Please see these links. My Pi is not easy accessible, Its built in in a cabinet.

                                          The config.txt is ok - Wi-Fi is not disabled, so I'm afraid it might be a hardware problem.
