you need to verify that you modem is receiving a signal. You may need to connect to the modem via a wire and by pass use the router in order to determine if your are receiving a signal.

Good Luck

Please pardon the interruption, on your network setting: what network location do you have set? Some early tablets won't actually allow (firewall) connections until it knows how you wish to treat the connection. Perhaps it was a new WIFI or public WIFI? Some surface O/S don't prompt for the network location (after the WIFI established connection), and you have to go into network settings and set a location (so the firewall will allow network traffic, not just the transport negotiation).

Let us know!

So the OS is surface? HOw old is it? what band of WIFI are you on? If it is B/G only , that is problem, surface is N! Make certain your router is broadcasting in B/G/N!
