Network manager can see my home network and says strength is ok or even good, but won't connect. Sometimes it asks for my password repeatedly but usually it just tries to connect for a bit and then gives the "disconnected -- you are now offline" message. Other computers have no problem connecting, and my computer has no problem connecting to other networks.
I've tried:
- Turning the router off and on again
- Turning the computer off and on again
- Deleting the connection information, stopping and restarting network manager, and re entering the information as if it were a new connection
- Deleting the connection, rebooting, adding it again
- Making sure the password is correct
- Toggling settings like "available to all users" and "connect automatically"
- edit: adding the line
blacklist acer_wmito the file blacklist.conf, as in this answer
... and none of these have helped.
edit 2 I don't currently have access to my router via ethernet cable, so doing route -n from my command line isn't possible right now. I am using a mac that has no trouble connecting to the internet, so following the accepted answer at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6782658/how-to-get-default-gateway-in-mac-osx, I ran route -n get default from the mac. Does that give the required information? The output was
$ route -n get default
route to: default
destination: default
mask: default
gateway: 192.168.1.1
interface: en1
flags: <UP,GATEWAY,DONE,STATIC,PRCLONING>

I've been using this network for several months, and this problem seems to come up every couple of weeks, lasting a couple of days at a time, and suddenly start working again for no discernible reason.
Some outputs of the commands that might be relevant:
The output of iwconfig was
eth0 no wireless extensions
lo no wireless extensions
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:off/any
Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=16 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Management:on
The output of lspci was
