Try this. Install Network Manager. To do that, just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:
sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome
Once done, you can setup the wireless network. type the following command to start the manager:
nm-applet

Why doesn't the initial install simply do everything it's supposed to? Why the need for the extra invocation of nm-applet?

Another (easier) way to have the network manager in the panel (bottom right) is this:
I am quoting from this article: Fix Lubuntu / Xubuntu 14.04 Network Manager Missing From The Panel.
To fix the Network Manager not showing up on the panel issue, from the
Lubuntu menu select Preferences > Default applications for LXSession,
then click on the Autostart tab and under "Manual autostarted
applications" type "nm-applet", then click the "+ Add" button on the
left.
Then log out and log back in. The new icon should be present in the panel - bottom right. Use that icon to manage network connections.
If this doesn't work have a look at the link above, there is more to it.

In a terminal issue the command
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
In the GUI
Go to Preferences-> Network Connections -> Add
Click the down arrow next to Ethernet and select Wi-Fi
In the window that opens; on the WiFi Tab, type your routers SSID in the box labelled SSID
Go to the General Tab and make sure the top two boxes are checked (you can modify these to meet your needs)
Go to the security tab and choose your routers security type (in my case WPA/WPA2 Personal)
Enter your password in the box labelled password
Save and close the window
Back in the terminal issue the command
sudo dhclient
Crank up your browser to confirm.
Full disclosure: This approach is known to work on Lubuntu 14.04 on An Asus F55A Tested and confirmed by me.

The other answers may take care of things, but the thing that seemed to be important for me is to go to the main menu ("start menu") then Preferences -> Additional Drivers, and check to see if your wifi driver is available. Mine, a broadcom driver, was available but not enabled as it is proprietary

In a terminal issue the command
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
In the GUI
Go to Preferences-> Network Connections -> Add
Click the down arrow next to Ethernet and select Wi-Fi
In the window that opens; on the WiFi Tab, type your routers SSID in the box labelled SSID
Go to the General Tab and make sure the top two boxes are checked (you can modify these to meet your needs)
Go to the security tab and choose your routers security type (in my case WPA/WPA2 Personal)
Enter your password in the box labelled password
Save and close the window
Back in the terminal issue the command
sudo dhclient
Crank up your browser to confirm.
