All,
Just purchased a DIR-857 on firmware version 1.00. I'm having two different problems that I can't seem to resolve.
First, I'm not seeing the 5 GHz band being broadcast from the router. I was using inSSIDer to determine the best channel to run on and it's not seeing the 5 GHz band at all. Could this be due to my wireless card? I'm using an Encore ENEWI-2XN45 that runs in the 2.412GHz - 2.484GHz band.

How do I know if the 5 GHz band is running on the router, other than it says that it's on?
Second, everytime the computer goes to sleep or is powered off, when I power it back on/wake it up, the wireless is disconnected. I run the "troubleshoot problems" on the wireless card. The solution is normally has something to do with not being able to find the default gateway. I was using a DIR-655 with this same card and never had the issue before. Any thoughts on what might be causing this.
Thanks.
