I just purchased a DIR-825 due to my phone lines running on 2.4ghz (everytime i had a phone call i lost internet until i hung up  ). However, after setting up the router I can only see the SSID for the 2.4ghz connection and not the SSID for the 5ghz (they have different names). I am using a DWA-552 Xtreme N Desktop Adapter for my wireless card and it boasts being 802.11n so why is it that I cannot see my 5ghz connection? My router is downstairs but it is still less than 50ft away diagonally and passes through minimal structures/objects. Any ideas?

The specs for your DWA-552 adapter show it only works on the 2.4 ghz frequency (Wireless Frequency Range • 2.4GHz to 2.4835GHz
 ).  To see the 5 ghz you need an adapter/card that can also communicate on that frequency.

Cheers

Ah i see, thank you. 

I've been trying to find another wireless card for my computer that allows 5ghz connections but im having trouble. Does anyone know of some other dlink wireless cards for 5ghz frequencies? I do not have pci-express slots on this motherboard, only pci and agp.

There are adaptors that are PCI, as well u can use USB if you really need to.

You could also get a new phone that is DECT.  It won't interfere with your wireless router.  Those phones are very common now.
