Power off the entire network.. and iPad included.

Power on in order.. main modem.. main router.. airport.. other network stuff.. iPad.. all with about 2min gap.

Search for AE wireless if your iPad happens to be connected to a different wireless in your network.. very possible after a firmware update.
