helped to me to connect to 5gz.
not solved fully- but i see the network. looking for optimal configuration. any advice would be appreciated.
I was a bit struggling with 5Gz on this device, and 5Gz signal seen just randomly after some configuration edits. It did not come to me easy, even when laptop was very close to router, so I wondering about.
Maybe it is just my problem continuing with 5Gz on this particular router.
At Asus downloads I see just utility and drivers- no firmware for it though...

Thanx , now much better. By the way - utility I used was same as last one version for download, but I have realised that they do have driver for W8, which I did not notice before. So it works now- at least I see 5Gz, but probably due to hardware limitations connection is not very solid.
1. InSSIDer- it is strange, but although I see on my note - Samsung NP 700Z5C- connected to 5 Gz channel with Usb N53, but InSSIder shows channels at 2.4Gz range only. I did not succeed to see 5 Gz there, but wireless net view shows it.

I do guess my note's broadcom wirelless card is not dual, maybe due to it. Maybe I have to play still with InSSIDer settings, too.
2. 5Gz channel is 48.
3. I have increased power - TX -until 100 mW on both bands being desperate due to 5Gz. Do you think need to decrease this until default?
4. Looks I did not see both antennas running at once. Will check signal strength being at home - in 3-4 hours...
Can you send a screenshot where you see 2 antennas?
