It now works with all three wireless access points in our house (why we have three is a *long* story!).
Good to here it is working.

And three access points don't sound to many to me. I'm down to only one, but that's because I don't have any "G" or older devices running. And the one I am running has dual radios in it, so it is effectively two.

Interestingly enough, I haven't been able to find anything in the "Device information" screen which tells me the model number; fortunately I still have the box that it came in when I bought it, and that indicates that it's an N905-KDN-S. The "Device information" screen *does* give me the software version: 4.21.15015 (dbef21c40c, 5/13/20), so pretty recent...
The serial number is the only thing that gives a hint as to the model number in the firmware. For most of the devices, it starts with the model number. The N905 and N905B didn't and I'm not sure of the N905C. The model number is on the end of the device with the USB port. But, I know that it gets worn off with use. Otherwise, it is somewhere on the PCB inside.
