Assuming you mean a 5GHz WiFi connection then according to the laptop [link|https://content.abt.com/documents/24497/l505gs5035_specs.pdf|specifications], the WLAN card (WiFi) in the laptop is designed for 2.4GHz networks ''only'' i.e. 802.11 b/g/n specs.
To get it to work on a 5GHz network you would have to upgrade the WLAN card to one having 802.11ac specifications i.e. both 2.4GHz and 5Ghz
