Unable to view/ connect to a wireless network

Long story short, my wireless network lost its mind when some people tried to set up hardware with the auto-connect "feature" that came with it. The wireless is a Linksys E3000 box.

Now, here's the thing. The wireless box can have two wireless networks running at the same time; one with with a 2.4GHz frequency and the other with a 5GHz frequency. I can connect to the 2.4GHz network as usual, however I can't see the SSID for the 5GHz network, nor can I connect to it when attempting to manually do so.

Time for the information overload...

Both networks are set up to use WPA2-personal security modes.

Here is how I have the 2.4GHz network set up:
wpa_supplicant.conf:

network={
        ssid="zelda"
        psk=--snip--
        priority=1
}
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel

and the zelda file (in /etc/network.d):

CONNECTION='wireless'
DESCRIPTION='Home network - zelda'
INTERFACE='wlan0'
SECURITY='wpa-config'
WPA_CONF='/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf'
IP='dhcp'

As I said, this one connects fine.

Here is the files associated with the 5GHz network:
wpa_supplicant_5gh.conf

network={
        ssid="zelda 5GH"
  psk=--snip--
        scan_ssid=1
        priority=1
}
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel

/etc/network.d/zelda 5GH:

CONNECTION='wireless'
DESCRIPTION='Home network - zelda 5GH'
INTERFACE='wlan0'
SECURITY='wpa-config'
WPA_CONF='/etc/wpa_supplicant_5gh.conf'
IP='dhcp'

When I attempt to connect to zelda 5GH using netcfg I get the following error:

> WPA Authentication/Association Failed

When I attempt to use wpa_supplicant I get absolutely nothing, but when I attempt to receive an IP address (using dhcpcd) it times out.

When running wpa_supplicant with debug mode on I get the following:

Thanks.
