There is a difference between having wifi and having connection to the internet. Do you have the latest launcher version? Have you restarted your pc/laptop/whatever? What have you already tried to solve this problem?

So you're saying that when you select 1.5.1 in the launcher, it works, but not 1.6?

Minecraft 1.5.1 is now 4 years old. With the Microsoft Buyout, I guess the link to the updater has died. From web experience, they probably removed the server response a year or so after putting the new launcher online, and since you havent updated in years you are one of the installs that has been left behind.
Try to go and get a fresh version at https://minecraft.net/en-us/ (a Minecraft account will be necessary.)
PS: A good first step to verify if you have wifi is well, can you load a web page. But here there's also a catch. A page that was already visited could be loaded from cache. So go on google, and do a search for something like 'Dwarves Scandinavian Death Metal' or something really random that you havent searched before. If it could load results, you are connected. If it doesnt, well, you aren't.
If your Wifi is patchy, I would recommend connecting your PC/Laptop with a ethernet wire to your router. It should help with your connection issues. If you still have connection issues, contact your ISP.
