the scan should see your network assuming SSID is broadcast and you are in range,

Yeah that's what I thought. My SSID is broadcast.

I suppose it could be intermittent? When I say it found it, I mean once in about 20 attempts!

I could try a different channel, but I selected the one I'm on because it gives the best reliability with all my other devices, so it should be OK. It's on max power I think. What wireless spec does the iLiad use - I have my router (a Belkin) set to 11b+g+n at the moment.

Just a bit! The one time it did find the network, I was the other side of an internal brick wall (i.e. about 2 feet away), but I also tried several times actually inside the cupboard with my router - 6 inches max!
(yes, I know putting the router in a cupboard isn't ideal, but it's at the centre of the house and works a treat with everything else
)
Thanks for the suggestions. I think it's looking more and more like hardware, so I guess iRex were right
