Wireless N Networking Adapter connection issues

I have an Apple Airport Extreme Router configured with
WPA2 security & 2 SSID's, password for the device and the networks are the same. My password is alphanumeric but its same for couple of other networks I manage myself, I am stressing that point to clear out wrong password option.
5GHz is called google n only mode
2.4GHz is called apple n only mode
All devices on my network are n capable, all computers being 5GHz
MAC Address Access Control (MAC filtering) is disabled on the router
I have Xbox Wireless N networking adaptor (black one with two antennas) brand new just out of the box
Without the adapter my console can connect to SSID "apple" (2.4GHz) no issues
when I plug the adapter to the unit it recognizes the adapter and asks to configure it and it finds all the networks in the neighborhood along with 2 of mine, but it fails to connect either of them, but if I change my radio mode to auto on the router it can connect to "apple" (2.4GHz)  802.11b/g mode!, still cannot connect to 5GHz SSID, so as the adapter can find both SSID's and many in the neighborhood, I assume that the adapter is fine, but there might be some kind of software update for the adapter ?

what I have done so far,
2 times reset the router start configuring it with default settings
Xbox reset to factory defaults same issue,
Plugged Adapter on the USB ports in the front,

Hey thanks for the reply,

You know what i did? same day after posting my question, i went down to Wal-Mart bought another same adapter and that one worked fine, so this was a DOA out of the box, no wonder, when you buy stuff from Amazon 6 out of 10arrive DOA! Are other merchants sc-rew-ing Amazon?
