So recently today my nexus 5 wouldn't connect to any wifi network, not mines nor neighbors, when it searches for some it stays loading for a long time as a matter a fact its still searching for a network, so im obligated to use my really slow unlimited data that doesn't load. i know its not my router all my devices connect well. any help?

Welcome to Android Central! Does this persist after a reboot? How about after wiping the cache partition? http://forums.androidcentral.com/nexus-5-rooting-roms-hacks/352008-guide-nexus-5-recovery.html. Be aware that the N5 takes about 5-10 minutes to wipe the cache.

tried it many times still won't find a network. can it be the wifi antenna? i open it up and i saw the white wifi antenna was a bit ripped

That could be it. I'm not that technical, so I can't recommend any specific course of action (besides taking it to a repair shop). There might be some DIY videos on YouTube on how to replace the antenna.

i know how thank you just don't wanna waste my money on buying a new antenna and to find out that's not the problem.

Mine as well. Either it's bad software, or a ton of people suddenly had WiFi selfdestruct.
