Hi group.

I have a e3000 setup with DD-WRT v24-sp2 (12/24/10) big - build 15962. I have the two radios setup one for g and one for N. I have several computers setup and using both. But I bought two new Samsung laptops for the kids this Christmas and they aren't able to see the N sid to connect. I have never run into this before. I have my personal laptop connected to the N sid. See my setup attached.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Your new laptops may not have a 5Ghz adapter in it to see the SSID. I know mine doesn't.

Maybe the wireless adapter on your new laptop do no work with 5Ghz mode or scan it on default settings. Try setting Wireless N to 2.4 GHz and see if it picks it up.
