no, you can make them different names. For example, my 2.4 SSID is Langtry and the 5 Ghz SSID is Langtry1.

If both devices are dual band, then it will take care itself how to use the available bandwidth, as long as settings (including SSIDs) on the other computer are set same as the router with 20/40 MHz (bands) both switched on.

But the 5 GHz should give you enough bandwidth, assuming that you are using the right settings, as mentioned in one of the threads in this forum regarding 300 Mbps set-up.
