Is it that your tablet sees the router but can't connect, or does it not even see the router (i.e., does the router name not even show up in your list under Settings/Wireless & Networks/Wifi when your tablet's wifi is on)?

First thing to try is to reboot your router--unplug it, wait for 10 seconds, then plug it back in again.

It sees the router and allows me to enter the password then tries to connect, but doesn't. Then it shows the status for the router as "saved, secured with wpa/wpa2". Already rebooted the router and the tablet including a hard reset on the router.

Try entering the password on the back of the modem if you have a modem that acts like a router. Verizon fios modems don't require u to have a wireless router so if you have one of those, just enter the password from that and not the wireless router. Disable all connections on the tablet, wait a few seconds and then enable them again. As this will refresh the connections and possibly you'll have better luck. Only thing I can think of. Make sure you're not messing up the password too. I know it sounds dumb but we all make a lil mistake sometimes. Good luck buddy

Tell us what you've tried so far. Have you rebooted your router, tablet, or both yet?
