Hum.. my home 802.11a network isn't working

Turns out I have some more work to do on the Time Capsule. Time Capsule works just find as a "Time Machine Server" doing just what I want it to do but I just reconfigured the wireless end to act as a 802.11n/a AP over 5 Ghz. It was my hope this would allow me to run my work VPN over 802.11a and thus bypass any interference from the 1000 other devices in the 2.4 Ghz range but I was unsuccessful in pairing my laptop to the Time Capsule via 802.11a.

I'll dig deeper into this when I get home tonight. The only reason this came up is I have an appointment with the hand surgeon to remove my stitches. My finger is still swollen from surgery and there is a good bit of bruising where he really dug around but otherwise things are not so bad. I can't wait until I can get my hand wet again. Showering with one hand inside a plastic bag is getting old and I'd really like to take a dip in the hot tub.
