If you go to Settings->Network->About is the MAC address all zeros or is there a "hardware missing" message?

Hey, as it is trying to update, I do not think I can access that information. Thank you for the response.

Nevermind, just found the MAC address. It is not all zeroes.

@Farbod90, that's a good sign.  So when you scan for Wi-Fi networks it doesn't show any?  That's not such a good sign unless you live in the middle of nowhere.  Does your phone have a hotspot that you can enable to see if that shows up in the scan?  If possible, try setting it to both a 5GHz channel and then a 2.4GHz channel.
