Hi kizmister, and welcome to AF 
Do you mean the Wireless and Network settings menu, or some other app? And does it not come on at all, or fail to connect to a network (you may get no icon in the notification bar if it isn't trying to connect even if the WiFi is on)? If you go into the WiFi menu, can you see any networks in range?
Sorry for all of the questions, but the more information we have the easier it will be to work out what the cause is.

Ok, best chance might be the S3 forum, as this is probably either hardware or system software. I'll move the thread over there.
The only software fixes I can think of are a factory reset (wipes all apps and data, so back up anything important first) or re-flashing the phone's firmware (which will also wipe the phone). No guarantee either would work. But the best would be to see whether the S3 experts have any other ideas first.
