You might want to see what happens when you first start to connect by clicking on the networking icon in the taskbar and going to network and sharing center, from there, click view status and then click on details, that will give you ip address information as well as tell you if you are getting a default gateway on the first hop and also see if you are hitting the interweb.
The next step would be to see how many networks are in your local area, if you are like me in an apartment, you will notice a lot of different WiFiers in the area, and may just need to change the channel of your router, which you should look up on how to do in your router’s manual
