I have a new wireless modem/router at home (Netgear DGN2000), which I have configured to use WPA/WPA2 security (personal-mode). The ssid is broadcasted (i.e. not hidden). However, my iLiad is unable to detect this wireless access point, even not when I'm sitting right beside it. In contrast, weaker access points in the vicinity are detected. I am able to find my access point with other devices, such as my laptop. Any ideas?

I have software access to my iLiad, and when running "wlanscan wlan0" from a shell, the access point is invisible as well. I am able to connect to other access points (at work for instance), so the hardware does not seem broken.

Thanks in advance!
