It's unbelievable but the channel-change worked! I changed it from Automatic (13) to Ch 3, and lo & behold: the N900 picked it up.
I guess this is one of those mysteries?
Thanks!
Chances are you could also fix the issue by switching down the WiFi power saving settings on the N900, but that would have a large hit on battery life.

I switched from UK to Global firmware. My N900 now no longer works with channel 13 (perhaps 12 too, not sure). In fact, I'd already switched to Global FW, then moved my wifi from 6 to 13. The N900 followed the wifi up to channel 13, but when I rebooted it, it wouldn't find the access point. I'm now using channel 11.
Hope this clears things up a bit, although I don't understand why the N900 with Global FW followed the access point and worked when it changed from 6 to 13 initially, before the reboot. Perhaps that is a bug.

Interesting theory, but why does communication via Channel 13 work for a certain amount of time and then suddenly not anymore?
Btw: how do I know if what firmware I have, i.e. USA or the global?
