Okay well now I've read the manual and so on. The bad news is the PS3's do
not support wireless n/a, so only the iPad and iPod will benefit from 5ghz.
That's cool because they were the ones mainly complaining. So what I did
was run a cable to the one PS3 and left the other on the 2.4 connection.

My logic being that the two playstations should not now ever compete with
each other for bandwidth. Right?
