First thing I notice is that your signal level is -80dbm. I'm not
exactly sure if everybody calculates dbm the same way, but typically in
our radios -80 is borderline unusable. That could be causing problems.
At home my signal is about -50dbm.

That's your problem. You have encryption turned off. I don't use the gui
tools for network changes, instead I edit /etc/network/interfaces
directly. Here's what I have:
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
wireless-essid example
wireless-key 123456
On the command line you can set the key using "iwconfig eth1 enc <key>".
