Well, if your PS3 had a static ip, meaning you entered it to match the linksys, assuming you used the default settings, you would have probably assigned the ps3 a 192.168.1.xxx address and the dlink I believe uses a 192.168.0.xxx address by dfault so your ps3 would no longer see the router and your xboxes probably have a dynamic ip so they work just fine....

Just a guess but you probably need to post more info about your network to get a definitive answer from someone.

I would go into your ps3 and make sure that it's set to receive a dynamic ip. I'm fixin' to go to bed but I would just do the following on the ps3 to make sure you have wireless setup and that you have it set to receive an ip automatically:

Go to Settings-->Network Settings-->Internet Connection Settings-->Click "Yes" to continue-->Click "custom"-->Click "Wireless"-->Click "scan" (if your router is set to broadcast the ssid otherwise click manual-->select your access point-->Select your security setting (probably none if you didn't set it up in the router)---> and that should be pretty much it.

I'd also make sure you can connect wirelessly with a computer. You should also be able to log into the router to check the settings and if it's set to default settings the it'll probably be accessible by typing 192.168.0.1 in a browser. Username will be Admin and I'm not sure what the default password is look in the manual. Make sure "Enable Wireless" is checked in the basic wireless settings area of the router and check all of the settings.
