True literally, but in my initial post I said:

Which is close
But the point is not that the iLiad is an N device, yet can't connect to an N router, which I'd put down to draft status, but that it's a G device and can't connect to an N router in G mode. My D-Link router comes with a wifi compatibility certificate (can't remember the proper term, but it's independent testing) that confirms it's entirely complient with the B and G standards. In fact as far as the certificate is concerned, if it's in G mode it IS a G router.
I accept that there's obviously something odd about the way (some?) N routers work in G mode, but I don't think the draft status of N lets iRex off the hook, as every other manufacturer I know has no issue.
iRex don't make the wifi card in the iLiad of course, but a) AFAICT the same card is used in many other devices that have no problems, and b) iRex, not the card manufacturer, are responsible for the drivers.
