    journalctl -u NetworkManager -b
     to view recent network-related logs when you manually disconnect and reconnect to Access Point

    Hmm, the laptop isn't even trying to associate. Have to you done the suggestion of deleting the network, re-scanning and adding back, entering the SSID password?

    Yes, I did that. 

    I've just done it again and failed to connect.
    I ran that command again and got the result shown below.

    I also drove my laptop to Aldi and tried and failed to connect to their wifi.

    I just enabled WPS on the router (which times out after 2mins) and pressed the router WPS button and went to my Linux laptop and found that it has given me Internet access by successfully connecting via wifi to an access point that connects over the mains to the router but authentication fails when I try to connect to the router wifi directly. But I am happy that I now have Internet access on the laptop. Thank you to everyone who has helped here. 
    And thank you to my friend who helpfully suggested looking at WPS.
