It turned out to be a bad NIC. It was transmitting, but not receiving. On a hunch, I swapped the card and can see networks where I could not before. Thanks for replying.
I can't say with absolute certainty. I found out using tools that monitor wireless data transmission that my card was transmitting, but not receiving. I swapped the internal card out with another laptop of the exact model and my wireless worked.

Hi Joe,
I have a dell inspiron 5160 with the same problem. Is my wireless card bad?
Thanks

Hello,
