Which backports package are you referring to? I can only see a few listed here (http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy-backports/). My AP is a Technicolor TG582n, latest firmware - but my Windows 8.1 tablet has no problems connecting in locations round the house where my Kubuntu laptop struggles. I don't think I've got an option on the encryption mode - it's listed as 802.11b/g/n, which I guess means n. I've got another AP I could try somewhere - I'd not thought of trying that since my Windows machines seem to pick up the signal fine. But it might be worth a go.
