ESP8266 really works on 802.11n?

Now that I got acquainted with ESP8266 WiFi module peculiarities, I have been asked if it works on newest 802.11n wireless networks. According to the datasheet, the ESP8266 chip supports 802.11b/g/n standards.

So I am setting up to test it against an "n only" access point. I will report my findings, since my home AP only does b and g.
