I came a cross an unbranded router with the FCC ID PANWA2204A stamped on the bottom (with MAC addresses and serial number). If anyone else is trying to identify one of these it’s a “RadioLabs High Power O2Link Broadband Turbo G Router“.
I had been searching for approximate frost dates for Auckland to help schedule veggie plantings. Luckily the people at NIWA are nice and respond very quickly to emails. I was told that ground frosts are days where grass minimum temperature are less than -1.0 degree C. Screen frosts are when the air temperature dips below 0.0 degrees C.
Using NIWA’s free data explorer tool “Cliflo” and the closest weather station to me I came up with the following data:

I had to create an ODBC datasource for an access database on my Windows 7 machine and for some reason the *.mdb driver doesn’t show up in the control panel ODBC administrator.
After much swearing and google-ing I found the solution.
In C:\windows\sysWOW64 there is an executable called odbcad32.exe. You need to run this exe as administrator to gain access to all the ODBC drivers that come with Microsoft Office, etc.
Thanks Microsoft for another fine product!
