Title: Dir-855 Dual band 2.4ghz and 5ghz
Post by: hairymexican on July 20, 2010, 07:10:17 AM

i am not sure how to see the 5ghz band i turned off the 2.4 ghz band and i cannot see my username for the 5ghz band on my wireless settings sorry not sure exactly how to write this to make sense as i am not home atm.  on my  D-Link DWA-125 USB 2.0 Wireless Adapter i only see the ssid for 2.4 ghz i made 2 ssids on the setup manual configure wireless on the dir-855 router as (2.4 ghz for the ssid name) and (5 ghz) and when i refresh i dont see 5ghz and this is supposed to be dual band so i would imagine i could see both of them and chose which band i want!? if i turn off the 2.4ghz and broadcast in 5ghz i dont see anything on the ssid to choose from.  any help or advice please and thank you.

It seems that your DWA-125 adapter can only use the 2.4 Ghz wireless N networking.
