I am running a DIR-825 I believe one of the original's no updates or anything.  I run it mixed mode.  The 2.4 shows up and I can connect to but the 5 ghz (n) speed says it's enabled but I can never see it when I scan on any of my wireless n products (laptops and other computers).  Dlink support told me to change to mixed mode g and n.  I was running it in mixed mode (a, g and n).  D link told me to change to mixed mode g and n and to make sure they stay on channel 6 and 11.  Is this correct.  Which firmware should I upgrade to and is there any easy way to do this?

Thanks Charles

looks like a bug in the current firmware

If you are using the same network name (SSID) for both the 2.4GHz and the 5.0GHz networks, the 2.4Ghz "tends" to "overpower" the 5.0GHz network.  Try setting the the two networks to different names.

Also, not all wireless adapters, built-in or added on, can do the 5.0GHz network, unless stated directly on the adapter specifications.

And finally, it has been reported the D-Link internal web page will not report the 5.0GHz 'device' connections, due to a firmware bug with the recent firmwares.

Hopefully you have dual band adapter.  Otherwise you cannot see it

Any new info on this?
