Cheers for the signal/noise info, that's exactly what I was looking for.
Strange, with two laptops in the same room as the router both show -98 on noise. The signal and signal quality are generally twice as good on my laptop than my gf's if we're sitting next to each other...possible just the different chips, I believe the wifi antennas in laptops are often wires that go round the screens or other areas, possible hers got messed up when she changed the casing on it...

Anyway, re the logging feature on DD-WRT, I did actually get it to work if set to high level and set to On for all three options...I suspect the other settings may not be sensitive enough?

Really interesting as it not only shows successful inbound connections but also attempted connections which were dropped by the firewall...
