Can you "see" your home WiFi network, if you place the tablet nearly on top of the WiFi router?

If so, then there may be a problem with the WiFi antenna or antenna connection in the tablet. A broken or loose connection perhaps

In the images at Step.6 & 7 in the guide, the antenna is clearly visible (grey cable at the top)
