    Assuming the Hub is broadcasting on both the 2.4 & 5 GHz band the computer is selecting which band to use. 

    Make sure you are using the HUB Password for the admin menu (i.e. not the Wi-Fi password).

    If the PC is choosing 2.4ghz it may be the wifi signal is too weak to sustain a strong 5Ghz signal.  Have a think about either a cabled connection (the best) or using an additional wifi extender.
