    New (to me) Asus W90 with fresh install of Win7 Ultimate. I'm using the latest azurewave Win7 drivers but still it won't see any signal from my dir-825 on the 5ghz channel. I have set my 5ghz channel to broadcast the SSID and no security (open) and still no signal strength is seen on the W90.
    I'm running latest firmware on my dir-825 and other 802-N devices connect just fine. One last thing, the W90 see's and connects just fine on the 2.4ghz channel.

    Any thoughts???

    Cheers...

    Make sure you are broadcasting in the lower channels (36-44)
    The AR9285 may not see the higher channels.

    Also try starting of with the router in 20Mhz bandwidth mode
    Might be a 11n issue
