What's netbootin?  Copying the iso to a usb device should just work,
without any other preparation...

I meant unetbootin, used for creating bootable flash using ISO. Any how cp and sync has solved that problem.

Most likely it needs firmware.

I dont think it is firmware. When I took the laptop near router, it connected easily. That means when away, it needs more time for connecting.

Please provide the d-i log.  It's in /var/log/installer/
post-installation.

There is no specific d-i log in installer folder. There is a folder cdebconf with two files in it named questions.dat and templates.dat and sixmore files namely hardware-summary, lsb-release, partman, status, syslog and Xorg.0.log.
Which one should I post?
