EDIT: Answered my own question 
Intel 1000BGN is doesn't support 5ghz networks. Please delete.
Hello friends!
Networking novice here with some basic questions. I already looked through some of the related general FAQs but can't find the right answers, so here I am
I have an Intel 1000 BGN adapter in my notebook and an EA3500 that should be broadcasting dual-band simultaneously. However, I cannot detect the 5ghz SSID I manually configured via the browser-based router control panel: it does not show up as an available wireless network and inSSIDer 2.0 shows no 5ghz APs (although I might not be using this tool correctly--again, novice!). The 2.4ghz SSID is working fine as far as I can tell.
Can anyone lend insight or provide some links to help me finally break into the Wireless N era?
