Your squeezebox can run 802.11g, while your laptops are running 802.11n - even if they are using the same radio channel.
So try both 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz with the newer devices, and see which works best.
-some clients only run at 2.4 ghz, so you might want to check to see that your laptops actually use 802.11n at 5 Ghz.
-The 5 Ghz band usually has less interference and offers higher speeds, and but also has shorter range. Since your router is two floors below your laptops, you might get better speeds with 2.4 ghz.
