OK, just to be certain, you aren't trying to use the Pi with both the wireless *and* fixed network connections in place at the same time, are you? You should only use one or the other, not both. Use "sudo powerdown" to shutdown the Pi, disconnect the fixed network connection from the Pi, then restart it, wait for the blue light to start flashing away on the WiFi adaptor and then run your checks. If the blue light goes out on the adaptor then it looks like the network connection isn't staying up. Finally, you can check whether wireless devices can communicate with each other via the router using the ping command eg, by pinging your mobile from your Mac. Not sure how you ping on a Mac, but I'm sure a search will turn up something. Or you could connect your Mac to the physical network and see if everything works then. I can't tell what the security setting might be on your router - they tend to use different terms for the same thing. I'm off to get some shut-eye now so I'll leave you to it.
