Can't connect iPad 2 to Airport after restoring iPad

I am giving my iPad 2 to my wife. I reset everything and did a restore through iTunes. So it has a fresh install of iOS 7.0.6.

Now, it will not connect to my Airport Extreme network! I get this message, time after time:

"No Network Connection

The Wi-Fi network you selected is not providing an Internet connection.

Change your settings or choose a different network."

Here is what I tried:

I rebooted the Airport Extreme
I reset the iPad (several times).

I triple-checked I am using the right settings (password, security [WPA2]).

I am well within range of the Airport.

All other devices using this Airport is working fine.

This iPad has worked fine for me ever since I got it with this same network.

I thank you in advance for suggestions or ideas.

iPad 2, iOS 7.0.6

Hi Dunestrider,

Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.

I recommend trying these additional steps if you cannot connect to the internet with your iPad:

iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398

Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your Wi-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.

Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network, and then reconnect to the network.

Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.

Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:

previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords

recently used Bluetooth accessories

VPN and APN settings

Best Regards,

Jeremy
