administration management page. I've got AP watchdog disabled, dhcpd
disabled, dns masq & local dns disabled, loopback enabled, 802.1x routing
enabled, upnp disabled. These are the only ones I think may make a
difference, but yeah not completely sure.

haven't touched any other wireless advanced settings.
