5ghz doesn't fix deliberate jamming. There's just more channels available for a device to use. Find the channel the AP is on and start blasting away at that frequency and you're golden. Bonus since 5ghz has a shorter range than 2.4 so with a sufficient antenna and power (because fuck legality if you're already stealing shit).
