Wireless speakers don't use Wifi. They are in the 2.4 GHz range, however, which is the same general frequency used by Wifi connections; that explains why they were interfering with each other. A great many home devices are using that band these days, which can lead to problems. Wireless access points are capable of handling multiple devices.
The router is able to establish a connection with your laptop and your laptop is able to connect to the internet. From this we can conclude that your internet connection is okay and the wireless function of the router is working properly. Your PS3 was unable to resolve 4.2.2.x DNS servers which are pretty much always available (and which I'm using as I type this), so your PS3 isn't connecting properly. Simple logic tells us that the problem is related to your PS3, then.
What are you setting as your PS3's IP address? It should be 192.168.0.x (probably between 10 and 100). If that's okay you can try
temporarily disabling WEP and connecting that way to see if you can further isolate the problem. For reasons listed above I strongly recommend against running an unencrypted wLAN, so if the PS3 is able to connect without WEP further troubleshooting will be required.
