Just a guess, as I really am not sure about this, but perhaps

1)        media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet OFDM/18Mbps mode 11ng
2)        status: associated
3)        ssid ronair2-1 channel 11 (2462 MHz 11g ht/20) bssid c0:c1:c0:8b:4b:f3

line 1 might indicate that it's talking 11ng - and that 802.11n is operative

and perhaps

line 3 only indicates frequency/channel.

Have you looked at your E1000 unit and verified what the link type is
for your connection? Perhaps it will tell you that it's connected via
'n' vs.'g'. Or not.

I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than me can comment further.
