I'll assume you are using a static IP configuration.  Send the output of:
 ifconfig wlan0

Send output of:
 iwconfig wlan0


>> From 192.168.2.2 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
>> From 192.168.2.2 icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable
>> From 192.168.2.2 icmp_seq=4 Destination Host Unreachable

Send output of:
 route

If you can, run tcpdump on AP...

Configuration blips are common enough ;)

For testing it's better not to ;)
