I installed a clean Raspian from the newest NOOBS 1.9.1 setup on my Raspberry Pi B+. On boot the WLAN-Dongle is connected. I used the GUI to connect to my WPA2 protected Wireless Network, like described here. The Pi connects to the WLAN and shows me an IP-Address.

But now I cannot connect to the internet. loading www.google.com from the browser results in an error. I can also not connect via SSH from my PC using putty into my Pi. From the Pi I can also not ping my routers IP.

I looks like my Pi is totally disconnected although it is showing me an IP-Address an a WLAN-Connection.

I also tried to setup my WLAN via commandline like described here. But this also does not work.

How can I get access to the internet?

If what @ott said doesn't work, Try restarting your router and resetting your Internet modem. Just because you're connected to the network doesn't mean you're connected to the Internet. You should also re-download noobs, reinstall it, then try to connect to the Internet. I had a similar issue as you did, and a fresh installation of noobs fixed it for me. Using Ethernet connection, I would also try sudo apt-get update in the terminal. When that completes, use sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to ensure you've got the current updates. This could help the wireless issue you're having.

Edit: I ran by this just today. Give this a try. It's straight from adafruit.com.

If you find your module 'drops out' from time to time, you can fix it fairly easily with a command line fix (thanks perseus286!)

Create and edit a new file in /etc/modprobe.d/8192cu.conf

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/8192cu.conf

and paste the following in

# Disable power saving
options 8192cu rtw_power_mgnt=0 rtw_enusbss=1 rtw_ips_mode=1

Then reboot with sudo reboot
