While browsing the web I was notified that my Dell Vostro 1720 was offline. After no luck rebooting my D-Link Verizon WiFi router, I saw my laptop could not connect wirelessly to anything, even a USB dongle. I can only connect to a wired connection now. Where do I start in diagnosing this?

Install the device driver package:
sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer
If already installed, reinstall it:
sudo apt-get --purge autoremove firmware-b43-installer && sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer

According to the information from the script that you posted your wifi is hardblocked that usually means the switch is physically off and needs turned on.
Some computers have a switch, others the wifi is turned on with the fn key + f2 or some other key similar.
