Root How to reduce interference between WiFi and bluetooth.

[RoboChick1987]

Hello! I just recently bought a new Bluetooth speaker because it's hard for me to hear audio through my Best Buy Insignia Flex when watching YouTube videos. But apparently my Bluetooth speaker seems to be causing interferences with my WiFi because when I watch YouTube videos through my new Bluetooth speakers, the connection is slow that the video frequently pauses to buffer despite strong WiFi signal. But when I watch YouTube videos through my tablet's built-in speakers, the connection is great but audio is hard to hear.

Is there any way I could reduce interference to my WiFi signal without spending more money to buy new hardware or anything and using just what I have?

Change the channel on your router. If it's at the middle (around channel 6) move it to one of the ends (1 or 11). If it's at one end, move it to the other.

Also don't have the speaker between the Flex and the router, or too close to either of them.

About the only other "fix" is running the Flex on 802.11A, 5GHz. If your router can't do 5GHz, that would cost. If the Flex can't, it's not a viable solution.

Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wifi use the same frequencies, but they usually don't interfere with each other (you can use the wifi on a cellphone and use a BT headset at the same time). A headset is a BT Class 3 device, with a range of about a meter. The speaker should be too. But if it (or the Flex) are Class 1, that's 100mW signal, and that can cause a problem. (That's for a range of 100 meters, further than your wifi.)
