Just wanted to chime in here, we have a beta firmware that you may all try.
Your laptops don't have the capability for the 5Ghz since they are probably rate for 2.4Ghz only i bought an asus G75 that way and didn't realize it couldn't connect to 5Ghz until I read the network capabilities. You could try buying an external Wi-Fi adapter to plug in just ensure it can receive both 2.4 and 5 Ghz frequencies. Integrated 802.11a/b/g/n/ac will get the job done if you decide to buy a different laptop for the networking capabilities.
Laptops, phones and tablets have capability for 5GHz and have connected to that frequency without problems before. So that is unfortunately not the issue.
