The Dlink website indicates that DWA-140 adapters are only single band at 2.4 ghz.  They will operate at wireless N speed using that band, but they will not operate in the 5 ghz band.  That is why they only connect at 2.4 ghz.

The DWA-160s are 5Ghz aware.

You should note that the range of the 5Ghz is a lot smaller than the 2.4Ghz one.
