Help Galaxy S2 will not find ANY wifi networks

I just picked up a new phone from the Sprint store because my old one needed to be replaced, so this is a brand new phone. My girlfriend's S2 has no problem connecting to my home wifi as well as finding 3 other neighbor's networks. My phone however finds no wifi networks whatsoever. It simply scans for a little bit, finds nothing, scans again, and so on. Is it possible that my wifi is just defective? I've seen plenty of threads of people not being able to connect to a network but none that say there are simply no networks to conenct to. I will most likely head back to the Sprint store on Saturday but if I can avoid this any help would be much appreciated!

I'm hoping for your sake that someone just forgot to connect the wifi antenna when reassembling your phone. I would take it in to the repair center-- if your girlfriend's phone can see wifi stations and you can't, then that tells me you have a definite problem.
