Windows 7 connection woes

Hi,
As mentioned in another thread, I recently picked up an Asus rt N66u which I've got working fab on all but one machine in the house. It's working with old Apple devices, my new Nexus 4, an older PC, all just fine. There's one (my wifes!) windows 7 machine that WAS connecting just fine that now totally refuses. I've tried connecting to other networks to be sure it's not a hardware fault, no joy.

The laptop only picks up the 2.4ghz connection (which I expected) it just plain refuses to connect. I've tried rebooting the Shub and router, nothing.

Re: Windows 7 connection woes

Solved, well kinda. Although previously it worked fine set to just wireless N, switching the router back to 'auto' seems to have sorted things. Odd.
