Are you using a network with the correct PSK? How is WPA encryption configured? I suggest leaving WPA2 only to test. Also, how are the minimum bitrate configured in your RF profile?

[ww]

From what i read it could be related to

802.11r

Do you have that enabled on the ssid?

Also, try update the client drivers /firmware
