I don't think it's translation, but yes what he was saying was that it should be tested without if issues exist. He implied that security could be the cause of issues, which is obviously bad. However as I say, security ISN'T the issue in my case anyway.

But WEP?? I wouldn't consider WEP "security", beyond preventing casual connections, these days.

No, definitely not a translation issue, and if you have had it connecting you've been very lucky. I've now tried three N routers (a Belkin, a Netgear and a D-Link), each in g only mode, in b/g mode, and in b/g/n mode, and none have worked, while G routers and access points all work fine. Not one of my other G devices has any problem at all connecting to any of these routers, so it's NOT the routers that are at fault.

Here's what Thom actually said: He asked me to check that I am "- not using an N prepared router (e.g. apple airport is causing troubles)".
