I'm not familiar with that model, but I can comment a little -- if the wifi chip/module is bad, it can do this sort of thing. Depending on what they have done, a shorted (or out of spec) wifi antenna can cause the wifi section to turn off.I found online antenna for sale in US but something tells me if antenna was faulty I should still be able to turn wifi on.
I have seen a -lot- of (cheap) tablets with this sort of fault. There are a few things that can go awry and cause this.....SDIO lines between SoC and wifi module, PMIC section is bad somehow (power management IC)...in both those cases, wifi is actually fine and not where the fault lies.
I think given the age of the device (and more specifically android version used), I'd be looking for a newer device.
