    I went and bought a new router for $40 and problem is gone.

    Not sure what was wrong with the old one, as it was working with my other devices (albeit slowly), but not with the Surface (almost non-functional).

    What's the lesson here? When you've tried everything else just get a new router?

    In any case, I am relieved and happy that I can work normally once again.

    Thx for the extra info. 

    This problem actually cost me 2 hours this morning for work. Can't really keep going like this. 

    I ended up tethering through my mobile to sync 600mb of files on One Drive.

    Hopefully can get this sorted soon. The bridge router sounds promising.
