    The fact that card is 802.11n does not mean it has to supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz band so it may be 2.4GHz only and still be 802.11n compliant.

    As far as I can see this notebook is offered with Atheros AR9485 which is 2.4GHz only and on top of that single spatial stream only (150mbps theoretical connection). It is also a very poor card overall.

    That said Asus might have offered this notebook with different Wi-Fi adapters so you'd have to confirm that.

    Can you provide the make/model of the wifi card that is installed? If its the one downloads mentioned then that would explain it.

    You can use a system information utility (such as HWiNFO64 or HWMonitor) to determine the make and model of the card, or just use Windows Device Manager. You can then research the card to see its specs. My first thought was already covered by what downloads posted; it's likely not a 5 GHz capable card.

    FYI, AIDA64 is a great utility too.
