I just purchased a "Dual-band Simultaneous" Apple Extreme Base Station. It's working well, with the exception of choosing which network to join.

After boot-up, hosts on the network join the 2.4Ghz network instead of the 5Ghz network. I have to manually move them to the 5Ghz network.

Under Airport "Preferred Networks", I moved the 5Ghz network to highest priority and have even deleted the 2.4Ghz network from the list. No matter what I do, all wireless-N clients return to the 2.4Ghz after restart.

Does anyone have any ideas?
