My solution was to buy an Apple AirPort Express which creates a 5GHz network and connect this to my 2.4Ghz router... does the job perfectly!
As for the PS3 thing... it's literally only the Surface Pro that's got a shit chip in it unfortunately. The PS3 obviously has a better one (of course, more room inside) which doesn't create a conflict.

That's interesting especially considering the PS3 is four years older. Anyways, thanks for the tip. Just going to have to hold off on using my speakers to play streaming media until I can afford to upgrade my equipment. I was glad to find out my current setup is working the way it's supposed to even if it is creating a "traffic jam."

I just plugged a jack to RCA cable into my Hi-Fi amp whilst I was waiting for my AirPort Express to come... worked perfectly, I just hate cables!
I usually see this when DHCP ACK is being mishandled, a couple of things to try...first is there a Firmware Update for your Router? Next, you can set a static IP address for your Surface ( I would use the Alternate Configuration Tab personally).
- Right Click on the WiFi Icon in the Network Connections Control Panel
- Double Click TCP/IPv4
- Select Alternative Configuration Tab
- Set the IP Address to the next address outside of your Router DHCP Scope (Most Routers have 50 Addresses in their scope - so something like 192.168.x.52) "x" is whatever your router uses, some use 1, 2, or 3
- Leave the Subnet Mask as default
- Gateway is your Router's IP address usually 192.168.x.1
- DNS is your router's or ISP DNS Address (You can find your ISP DNS on the Internet Configuration of your Router)
