Hi,
I'm afraid you can't access wireless Internet while in safe mode. Try pressing Alt and F10 when turning on your computer and choosing safe mode with networking instead of safe mode.

The asterisk is there to show that other wireless networks are available for connection. If you tap the asterisk you should reveal the other networks names and signal strength.
When entering the password there is a tick box that allows you to save the settings and connect whenever this wifi available, check the settings from the password page!
On my Iconia when I see this show up it will be from a low power or a poor wii connection. Basically the signal strength is too low which means the speed drops to the point where everything is timing out before it gets loaded.
There are a couple o causes to check . One is too far from the wifi router.the farther away the lower the signal the slower it goes. You have objects blocking the signal such as steel reinforced safety windows or steel mesh in walls. These can block the signal. I have one are where I'm all of 10 feet away and it will barely connect. I have to move about three feet to the side and get ull strength and speed. The orientation of your tablet can effect i you can use a marginal signal or not. Try aiming the edge with the volume buttons towards the wifi. The antenna is oriented in a way that this will slightly improve the signal. The other thing is that your tablet can be fine but your wii router is having problems with its wifi sections. Certain brands will show more errors and then difficulties in connections in as little as a year old (on some about half that). The Iconia has a rather good wifi ability so I wouldn't blame its hardware but would look at the location orientation etc as I have mentioned.
