I have seen this problem with many of my clients. Here is a way to correct your WLAN connection problem:
1: Choose "Network" in the Internet option, disconnect it and then delete the Connection in the "Manage".
2: Click "Create" to recreate the connection, choose "Local Area Network- Wireless", then Next.
3: Choose "Next".
4: Select Address Type, and then Next.
5: Browse Wireless Networks and then choose the one you want to use, you should see your wireless router/modem and the signal should show "Excellent" or "Very Strong". Choose the mode to be "infrastructure" and the Transfer rate to be "auto", and then Next.
6: Wireless Channel Settings, choose any channel.
7: If your AP is using the WEP or WPA encryption, you need to choose "Enable encryption" and then input the Key and Key index, (If you want your connection secured, you should use WPA and select a key index.) choose Next.
8: Fill in the Name of connection, then choose Next.
9: You can choose the "Connect automatically at system startup" or "Start this connection when finished" if you want, and then choose Finish.
This should correct your connection issues. Good Luck.
