I have a D-link DIR-524 802.11n router. My PC is having 802.11a/b/g. The issues is that I'm unable to connect to the router when 802.11n is turned on. As soon as I disable 802.11n feature. I can connect to the router!!
Is there any was I can connect with my PC with 802.11n turned on??
EDIT: A picture of the web interface of router..

One difference might be the 5 GHz mode which is exclusive to n and a modes. For n, this is optional, but you can force it on your router or your network interface.
Ive checked the data sheet, there is no 5GHz mode. And your computer's network can only do 2.4GHz, so that should match.
I see no reason why you should turn the n mode on, it won't bring anything special in your case.

didn't I mention my network card is 802.11 a/b/g. – Vineet Menon – 2011-12-02T18:57:33.060
I live with my roommates and all of them have a n network card, which essentially make me force its use, since they will have higher data rates... – Vineet Menon – 2011-12-02T18:59:21.637
What model is the router - doesn't it have a mixed (g and n) mode? – Paul – 2011-12-01T22:46:17.107
it only gives me 2 option for 802.11n namely, 1. Auto and 2. Off..I will post the configuration page later.... – Vineet Menon – 2011-12-02T06:38:39.417
Check with the manufacturer of your router to see if there is a firmware update for your device, it key be that an update could add a dual mode functionality. – Mokubai – 2011-12-02T07:34:49.853
i called the customer care of D-link, but they are more lame than I am.. :P. Says the router by default supports g/n dual mode. If that's the case, then why am I not able to connect!!! – Vineet Menon – 2011-12-02T10:38:58.023
