Is it WEP, or WPA? Make sure the tablet and router are using the same security settings. Also, the tablet's radio may be weak; see if it works closer to the router (my phone has this problem).

Your tablet's manual or web site should explain what security settings are available and how to get to them. There is likely some kind of wifi configuration page on the tablet. You might also see if there is a forum on their web site with FAQs or commentary from other users who have set them up.

its actually more likely to be WPA2 these days.

Since you've reset the router - review the owners manual for how to set it up and secure it. Pay attention to the security type, which will be none, wep, wpa, wpa2 (with or without psk), and what password you selected to access it. Please keep in mind that the password to access the routers setup should be different than the password to access the wifi.
