i noticed in some of the code blocks that the frequency was showing a lot of 5 gig frequequencies.
maybe your wireless lan card does not support 5 gig.
set the router to use only 2.4 gig see if that helps at all
what region of the world are you in.
also what wireless lan card is it, if you dont know, then run lspci (assuming its a pci card) or lsusb if its a usb dongle.
you will have gatherd that wireless networking is not great in mageia, or linux, seems to cause alot of trouble for alot of people, but we cant help if you dont help yourself. There are loads of resources on the net about problems, you need to gather from all those resources and then come here with a list of various things you have tried, this will help us to narrow down your problem.
I personaly dont have an issue with my wireless, but thats because i know a little about linux, and stick with known linux friendly hardware.
if you have a broadcom wireless nic, your always going to be on the backfoot as initialy broadcom would not share there internals.
Atheros, prism, intel however are largly trouble free, as they share and contribute to the linux kernel and comunities.
hopefully this will help you understand why it is we are having issues helping you.
