I just put DD-wrt on my Linksys 400N and 320n. The 400N is a dual radio and the 320N is a single radio. The 320N is hardwired to my xbox downstairs and my 400N is upstairs. So, I'm trying to bridge them. I have the 400N set to one radio on G only and one radio on N only(5Ghz). The G radio works fine as my laptops can connect to it. I need a G radio for laptops and stuff and the N radio for the xbox.
I can't test the N radio on the 400 because I don't have any laptops with N radios. When I go to view the wireless networks to "join," the 320N cannot see the N network broadcasting from the 400N. The weird thing is when I connect to the the 320N via ethernet and set the radio to N only(5ghz), in the Wireless tab on the Status tab it shows the speed as 54mbps and the channel of 34. The channel 34 isn't even available on the 400N.

You cannot connect a 5ghz N to a 2.4ghz N so make sure you have it setup properly. ALL settings have to match. Also, site survey doesn't work for 5ghz. There are lots of threads on dual band bridging in the broadcom forum and likely some wiki information on N configuration that includes some 5ghz info.

They are both 5Ghz routers. If site survey doesn't work, then how would you make a bridge with over the 5Ghz band?

All site survey does is type in the ssid for you. You can type it in manually. You don't need site survey to make a bridge. It is just a "convenience" to save you from having the type the ssid in.
