In the Xirrus screenshot the wireless appears to be connected, but the signal is too weak for a reliable (or robust as the Xirrus user manual says) connection. If you are getting a better signal (-70 dBm or better) on the laptop maybe you have the antenna of the desktop's adapter in a bad place. Remember that the desktop tower itself can act as an effective obstacle if it is between the adapter's antenna and the router.
