Before resigning yourself to a factory reset, have you tried manually entering ALL the wireless data for your access point as opposed to simply selecting your network from the list and entering the password? (to clarify further; I mean creating a new wifi profile by explicitly typing the SSID of your access point, selecting wireless encryption type, then entering your password).
I only say this because:
a) Clearly your KT has working wifi otherwise you wouldn't be able to see the presence of *any* other networks.
b) I once had a similar issue on a laptop that used an intel wireless chipset that categorically refused to connect to any "available" network including my own. Yet when I manually entered all that data (as per connecting to a hidden SSID) - boomshanka.
(This problem was permanently rectified when I binned the intel and changed to a card with an atheros chipset - a choice you don't have with the KT).
