I changed the channel of my 5 GHz from 36 to 153,
changed 2.4GHz to 12,
then my macbook pro is able to connect and search the 5GHz SSID,
maybe I lived in a building apartment,
too many channel are interferred together,
so my iphone can connect but macbook doesn't.
You should check your area with the same channel,
it may affect your connection.

Thanks for you guys support.
I sort it out eventually

Did it work alright before f/w update? If yes go back to previous f/w. Instead of resetting, try rebooting. Resetting need reconfiguration or restoring saved configuration file. My router never needs resets or reboot. It just runs and runs for months and on once put into service. When things are running good I don't need to update f/w. Do you read release note first when you update f/w? Was there anything specially applicable to your router operation?
