What is Clear.fi?
If it is Clear Cellular Internet. Have you tried the following.
First on your new WiFi router have you set up the new router with the same network information, same SSID or network name and password?
I ask this because if not then you need to be sure that your PC and tablet have been changed to your new network name and security protocal and have the new password in them.
Second you will need to power down all devices, ie, Clear modem, the router, and PC/Tablet.
First, turn the Modem on and let the modem find and link to the Clear Network, after you have full bars or as many as you get, then turn on the router, let it fully load and all lights stable, then your PC and Tablet.
Sometimes just hooking the new router up does not work because the modem identifies with the first device connected. When you change that device (the router) the modem is still looking for the old router so you have to power the modem and router down (PC etc) and restart everything from the modem out. Modem>Router>PC/Tablet.
I ran in to this problem a few years back with my sisters set up. Modem was hooked up to the PC, I unhooked the modem form the PC and plugged it in to the new router and nothing worked. I busted my brains tring to get it to work and had nothing. Called a friend that owns a PC repair shop and he told me to turn everything off, turn the modem on, then the router, then the PC. Giving each one plenty of time to fully start and set up before turning the next device on. Once done her internet was back up through eithernet and we had a good strong WiFi signal. Problem? though I had the new router hooked up to the modem, the modem was still looking for the PC to be the first device. It was not, so the modem was not comunicating. It showed a connection and that was throwing me.
Once the modem was restarted and the router was the first device connected it worked just as it should.
I have fixed a fiew friends networks with this simple fix for similar reasons. Give it a try it might be all you need.

Got it.
Was my post was helpful? Or are you still having problems? Need to know if we still need to try to resolve your connection problem.

i dont believe its a network problem because my blu-ray can dectect my PC and vice versa. Also, i have a combo modem-router. I have powered down everything and re-started several times. I believe Clear.fi is still trying to connect to the old network but cant figure out how to change, or even access the settings on it. only has server on and off option.
I take it that you can connect to the internet through your wifi.
If so then your tablet sees the router.
Have you tried going into settings, wireless & network, wifi settings,
You could try, what should be the 4th thing down, under wifi networks, click on the one shown for your computer network and tell it to forget it.
Then I would reboot the tablet, go back into those settings and reestablish a connection, putting in your password.
