Bluetooth interfering with Wifi

    Hi guys,
    I got a bluetooth USB dongle for my laptop about 3 months ago to stream audio., its one of the standard CSR ones I have a separate little bluetooth adaptor, which my speakers are connected to. The solution has worked great since I got it, but in the last 2 days for some reason when there's audio streaming via bluetooth, my internet download rate drops dramatically from 60Mbps to about 2Mbps. I have tested it various ways - with/without dongle attached, audio streaming/not streaming, and it is limited to when there's bluetooth audio, nothing to do with broadband or router.
    As I said, it was fine for ages, just the last 2 days its been doing this. Anyone experienced this and know any way to adjust it so the wifi isn't degraded by the bluetooth audio?

    thanks in advance

    Bluetooth channel hops. Normally reboothing the bluetooth devices will select a new channel and fix it. If this isn't working then you want to change your Wifi channel in your routers configuration page.
