Looking at the description of the centrino wireless adapter, it will only work on 2.4ghz.
You may wanna try disabling and enabling SSID broadcast on the 5ghz. When you access the router page, look for the 5ghz and uncheck it then click Apply. After it's done saving, enable SSID broadcast once again.
If the same thing happens, reflash the firmware of your router.

that could be a problem on the 5ghz if it says connected but not loading a website. what happens if you connect to the 2.4ghz signal? is the windows 7 connecting through the 5ghz band or on the 2.4ghz?

I´ll try having my mac connected to the 2.4 ghz for a while, and see what happens.
My windows 7 computer has an intel centrino wireless-n 1000 card, which seems to only connect to the 2.4 ghz.
Are there any fixes if the 5ghz on the router is the problem? The router is just a few months old, and has had these hiccups since I bought it..

actinia Ensure WMM is enabled on the router, (Macs need it) close the Genie app, on your Mac. Genie can cause numerous perfomance issues on the router. When you logon to the router, use a browser.

WMM was enabled. I´ll kill the Genie app and only use the browser..
