Check if you are on the right wireless network (not a neighbors), and also check if you have it set up to go through a proxy... connectivity settings, connections, edit...
If you can, disable the proxy and see if that helps.

The tinfoil hat is supposed to go on your head, not over the tablet! 
It's possible someone nextdoor installed an AP that's too close a channel and is decreasing your SNR, making a connection difficult/impossible to put data through. Try standing (figuratively) on top of your AP, and see if it improves?
Also, try going somewhere else with a free WiFi hotspot and try it. Or even a non-free one; if the sign-up-to-pay-big-money-and-access-our-net page loads, it means the tablet's fine, troubleshoot your AP. If it can't load, then a proxy or similar config issue seems likely.

Great to hear that timeless, that was good detective work in testing the tablet with a different router.
