It has all the network details correct and in 2.4ghz mode (N+G+B, same channel, 2nd chan 40mhz above and of course the SSID and password). When I flip it to N+A, I can see the LED indicators for the wifi network swap and it blinks just like the other one did, but I get no network access out of it. From a computer directly connected to it, I can still load the GUI and ssh in no problem to fix things and troubleshoot, but I'm not very familiar with WDS.
I'm a horrible support requestor in that I don't have iwconfig / ifconfig output from the failing 5ghz mode, but I can get it. Unhelpfully, here is 2.4ghz's output from both devices. Version is latest stable, 1.6.1 recently updated... but I've had the problem in the past with 1.6.0 on the client and 1.5.something on the AP+WDS.
