I know that it can be an annoyance if your computer does not connect to your Wi-FI but other devices do. Let's see if we can get it sorted out.
I would first start with the article below on troubleshooting Wi-Fi connectivity. It does have a section on Not connecting to the internet as well as a section on dropping the connection. Another troubleshooting is in the second article and to create a new Network Location. The idea behind that is that you might need a fresh start on the settings and this would do that for you.

Using network locations (Mac OS X v10.6 and later)

Let me know if this works out for you or if you further assistance on this issue.
