Macbook pro won't connect to just one wifi network

My 2011 Macbook Pro has stopped consistently connecting with my home wifi network. It will work every once in a while but then cut out unexpectedly a few seconds to an hour or so later. It's not a problem with the router because my phone and all my roommate's devices still connect perfectly well. My Macbook will also connect to all other networks just fine, like when I'm on my school campus, just not my home network. What can I do to try to fix this?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Hello juliagoolia94,
I understand that you are having issues with connecting to Wi-Fi at your home but everywhere else is working fine. Let's see if we can get this sorted out.
Now one of the things I would try is removing that Wi-Fi network and rejoining it. I would also make sure that for your version of OS X, you are up to date on all your software.
I know you said that other devices connect to it your router but I would also consider looking at the settings to ensure that they are set correctly.
Take a look at the articles below for more details on troubleshooting this.
