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.
If you want the latest backports code, go to http://drvbp1.linux-foundation.org/~mcgrof/rel-html/backports/ and get the latest. You will need to build it yourself. The saucy-backports package is probably not for wifi.
The manual for the AP says that it uses WPA2 as the default. It has 802.11n capability and probably is running in 802.11g+n mode.
