In my case I use WPA2 encrypted wireless with a fixed IP address. Then
the settings set as follows:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
> Wireless tab

SSID : As set up on your wireless router, (you should be able to change
this)
Mode : infrastructure
BSSID : As set for your wireless router
Restrict to interface : Any
MTU : 1500

> Wireless security tab

Security : Needs to match that configured for your wireless router
Password : Needs to match that configured for your wireless router

> IP Address tab

Basic settings
Method : Manual
IP address : Your selected IP address, (check your wireless router will
accept it)
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0 usually
Gateway : The IP address of the router connected to your ISP provider
DNS Servers : IP addresses, (usually provided by your ISP provider)
Search Domains : Usually provided by your ISP provider
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unfortunately configuring your wireless router varies for different
makes. Normally it can be done  using a web interface. But usually they
are default configured to DHCP which is certainly a simpler option if
you have a simple network configuration. But as the settings above show,
both the wireless router settings and network manager settings need to
match up, and any slight mismatch could cause it to fail.
