You should be able to save the file to your phone then hook your phone up to your computer and transfer the file.
I hope anyways.. I don't use internet on my phone so I have no idea what the capabilities are.
Otherwise you need a second computer with working internet service and some kinda storage device (usb thumb drive, burnable CD etc).

But that is what I need to do?
Wifi router make n model >> download driver? Does make n model of computer matter at all?
Pressing the command button on the keyboard does nothing, I'm not aware of an external switch anywhere.

Just go by make and model of the computer. It's a factory made computer so short of some extreme circumstance they all use the same model. With how your computer is behaving I don't know if it's possible to find out the make and model of the wifi any other way.

I just had the same issue a few days ago while setting up an old desktop at home.
All I had to do was find out the model of my wireless adapter, download the corresponding drivers onto an USB stick using my working computer, then copy the driver to the desktop & install.
If you don't have a USB stick available, you can burn the drivers onto a CD-R. Or maybe even to your phone like Shroomslip said and then upload it to the laptop via your phone/usb cable.
I'm not too proficient with computers either but this was a relatively simple issue for me to fix.

This is your wifi toggle button, pressing CTRL+F2 or FN+F2 should toggle it off and on

Press it.
Drivers are here https://www.asus.com/Notebooks/K53E/HelpDesk_Download/

That should be what you need.
Well if you have windows 7 64 bit.

If you go to controll panel>device manager you can see which wifi card you have, AND if you can't see it listed you'll know you're fucked. You can buy a usb wifi card for less than $20 though.

Go here: https://www.asus.com/support/Download/3/295/0/3/fCGFt3hiSAQYMnvO/30/
Scroll down and click on "Wireless"
Download the "Atheros Wireless Lan Driver and Application" to a USB drive/CD-R
Copy it to your laptop with the wifi connection problems and run the installer. That should be about it.

But first make sure the wireless is turned on. Hence the button. Drivers won't help him if it's disabled. He probably already has drivers installed if it worked before.
If the wireless is ON and it still doesn't work.. then yes.. drivers.

Define doesn't work. What happens when you press it. It's a toggle that enables or disables wifi.

Nothing happens. No light turns on or off. No sound is made. The emblem doesn't change...

This is still the most likely culprit.
AND CHECK DEVICE MANAGER ! It will also show you if the card has been disabled by said button.
You only have to buy something if the card failed on the hardware level. It's unlikely at this point, so you should do that device manager thing, so we'll know more about your problem. It will tell you if the system recognizes the presence of the card, if the card is enabled, and it'll have the driver listed with the option to rollback the driver if a new one has been installed recently.
