Hi,
b/g/n can only connect to the 2.4GHz network. To connect to the 5GHz networ you need an ac/b/g/n module or a USB dongle.
So you can either replace the network module.
Your notebook has only one antenna so you need to find an ac module with a single antenna
Ex
Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11ac 1 × 1 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 4.2 Combo Adapter (MU-MIMO supporte
On page 50 of service manual you can see the steps to replace the module

or you can get a wifi USB dongle

Hope it helps.
