My thoughts exactly, and exactly why I posted - the logging/reporting stuff was completely new to me.

Bloody well hidden, that should have its own "tab". I see on my current-gen Extreme, the "Change channels" section that refers to high-power 5GHz band channels doesn't match - I don't get the option of any of those high-number channels. Is that a UK restriction? Cheers - Jaimie -- "If hard work were such a wonderful thing, surely the rich would have kept it for themselves." - Joseph Lane Kirkland

Is that a UK >restriction? Duh - comments cover it, but the restrictions are interesting: Channels 1-13, 36-64, 100-112, and 132-140 approved for use in Europe Presumably the AE is so US-centric in design that it can't talk on the higher channels here.
