I don't know the model number I'm afraid; it was my brothers, but it wouldn't connect (rather, the iLiad couldn't even see it) no matter what mode it was in.

Maybe at work the routers are more robust?

I've never seen it reported either, which is exactly my point! iRex know the iLiad has trouble with (some?) N routers, which are becoming more and more widespread, yet don't tell anyone!

I wasn't suggesting that you are at fault for using WEP, just that it's hardly a test of the iLiad's ability to work with a secure wifi set-up.

On iRex's support site they list (I think) 5 different model numbers for the iLiad. Maybe the issue only applies to certain ones, or to certain firmware/driver versions, which would explain why mine is 100% incompatible with N, while yours is 100% OK with it. Fact is though, mine IS 100% incompatible, iRex know they have an issue, and it's their problem, not the router's or my configuration.
