The signal strength was just one more thing to eliminate. Looks like you have a stray network driver r8169 that somehow got loaded. In file /etc/modprobe.d, add the line:
blacklist r8169
That might help.

Oh you'll get yours, Microsoft.
It ought to see wireless access points here. I am mystified because previously it did:Is there an informative message here?Jan 26 08:33:30 yousaf-Studio-540 NetworkManager[813]: <info> Activation (eth1/wireless): connection 'Yousaf' has security, and secrets exist.

Sorry for the delay; I had problems with my laptop as well (not Ubuntu related). Anyways, here are the results.

I actually have the same problem. Only it just started today after an update yesterday.
I'm running regular Ubuntu, but I do believe that I am running some "Studio" stuff. I may even have installed the Studio package.
One interesting thing on my end (you may check yours), is that, even though it shows "connected" to the wireless network, I can't access the router through a browser (192.168.1.1).
It also can't connect to the wired network.
Finally - I know it's not hardware related. I'm dual booted into Windows, and it's working just fine (as evidenced by this post).
I think there was some kind of update that destroyed things. (I'm on an ASUS laptop.)

In network settings, change to automatic DHCP addresses only and manually add your DNS servers ie opendns at 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220. This solved my problem with connection - something to do with modem thinking computer was Windows based.
@ozhank: I tried that myself and it didn't really do anything

Any developments on this problem? I'm still without a functioning PC. In desparation, I tried installing Linux Mint. But I still had the exact same problem.
I know Mint is based on Ubuntu but thought I'd try it anyways.
HELLLLLPPPPPPPPPP ME.
