Possibly, but if that were true I'd expect lots of devices to have issues, and they don't. The iLiad is only one of many G devices I own, but is the only one that can't connect.

No, Thom admits his team were at fault for ever suggesting that (especially as they didn't try ANYTHING else first). The hardware is fine as it connects to G routers every time, and because they haven't found the cause yet, there's no new driver or firmware for them to instal either, so there's no point in sending my iLiad to them.
The bottom line, as Thom says, is that the iLiad can connect to
some N routers, but that they have a problem with lots (enough that
they percieve it to be an issue, not just me).
If you haven't come cross the problem, that's good, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist, and the purpose of my post was to warn others who may be thinking of upgrading to an N router, and/or help anyone who's struggling, like I was, to get to the bottom of the issue.
I'm genuinely grateful for your suggestions, but actually I'm not asking for help here (unless someone knows more about N routers than iRex do, and can offer a fix), as I know exactly what I have to do - use only G routers/access points until iRex find the issue and update their firmware/drivers.
