It sounds like a radio problem.
If you get closer to the AP does the signal get any stronger?

Absolutely sure about that
- Are you using a static (manual, fixed IP) or dynamic (DHCP) setting from the route, for your client connection
Is the network really running
In terminal, check
- inxi -F
--short list of all OS detected hardware - inxi -N
--network card only - ifconfig
--is the nic (network Interface Card) UP - iwconfig
--same as ifconfig for wireless - ping -c 4 127.0.0.1
--is TCP/IP running correctly - Ping router's IP address
--is it available to you: on the same network as your IP address for that workstation
It is usually 192.168.xxx.xxx or similar; if it is 169.xxx.xxx.xxx then it is not a valid dhcp connection IP address

(computer) - Netstat -rn
--is the network associated with any AP(Access Point), router/dhcp server
Are you behind a proxy IP address on your network, or are you not connected directly to the router, but instead are connecting via ICS (Internet connection Sharing) a la windows host mode support for people who don't use use Ethernet switches/routers (with built-in Ethernet LAN switching) or have more computers than ports and don't mind having a single host computer powered on to forward/manage their Internet connections in shared mode.
