So having finally given up on my dir-655 I decided to try out a dual band router. Now, dont get all angry with me here, but I bought a linksys wrt610n this time. It was on sale. Heres my question. All my N gear (3 other devices) finds the 5Ghz band fine. Except for the dsm-750. It only finds my G band at 2.4Ghz. Am I trying to do something that the dsm-750 is incapable of here? Here is my current setup, please let me know if I have set something incorrectly for it to operate with the dsm-750. The dsm-750 was my inspiration for switching to a dual band router.
5Ghz
network mode: N only
channel width: auto (20 or 40)
ssid broadcast: enabled
security mode: wpa2-personal
encryption: wpa-tkip or wpa2-aes
2.4Ghz
network mode: G only
channel width: 20
ssid broadcast: enabled
security mode: wpa2-personal
encryption: wpa-tkip or wpa2-aes
thanks, Chris

Do you have two different SSID names one for each band?
-
yes the SSID is different for each band. is that a problem?
-
No. Thats how it should be. There may be something wrong with e 5Ghz radio in the DSM-750. Did it work with the DIR-655?
-
Having had so many problems with the dir-655 I am hesitant to say yes. It did but if I remember correctly it was connected at 130Mbps or something. So I assume that means the dsm-750 was using the 5Ghz radio. Or, I could be totally out to lunch.
Where do I start if I want to trouble shoot the 5Ghz radio on the dsm-750?
EDIT: I had to run downstairs and take the dir-655 out of the box to check, but it only has a 2.4Ghz radio. So I guess my dsm-750 was never using its 5Ghz radio.

Yeah it was just connecting using 802.11N on the 2.4Ghz band the DIR-655 does not support 5Ghz. Try disabling the 2.5Ghz band and see if the DSM-750 will even find the 5Ghz radio broadcast and it is not set to invisible or anything like that.
