Wifi issues on HP Touchpad

I got an HP Touchpad and put Cyanogenmod 7 on it for Jenni to play around with. She used it a tiny bit over Christmas break but then when we got back it wouldn't allow me access to the Market and some other apps once it was connected to our wifi.

Our router had been acting a little odd with the new laptop we had gotten so I assumed it was because of the router. I got a new router and it still had problems, so I did a little digging. I tried playing around with a bunch of settings and doing all sorts of crazy things, but in the end it turns out that the date was reset to the unix epoch and setting it to the current date seems to have fixed the issue. Don't access me why that has anything to do with stuff like this, but apparently it does.
