arch cannot see my wifi

Hey,

I have a fresh installed arch. I am trying to connect to my wifi both with wifi-menu and NetworkManager (gnome3).
While both list a lot of wifis around me, my wifi does not show up. It is not hidden.
It worked from the boot USB-Stick! And the wifi is there, I can connect from other devices!

It is a wpa2 wifi, but other wpa2 wifis are listed ...
what could this be?

Thanks!
Nathan

Re: arch cannot see my wifi

Is your router on a band that your computer is not capable of or just is not using?  In other words, is your computer looking in the 2.4 GHz band whilst your router is up at 5GHz?

Have you tried connecting to it by using the "hidden network" option in NetworkManager (even if it should not be hidden)?
