First of all I don´t know if I´m in the right department. Sorry in advance.

Issue: I´ve purchased new bluetooth earphones and I noticed that my wifi got slower.
After some research I learned that it´s actually a common issue with bluetooth devices interfering with other ones.
Is there a solution or do i have to get rid of it?

Suggest leaving the wifi as is for now.

Do not wish to make too many changes and have some adverse domino effect...

Not at all familiar with the router (3webgate 2) and its' use of sim cards and unlocking requirements....


Are you able to reduce the number of Bluetooth devices? How many do you have?

Disable if possible and starting with one add them back one at time. Monitor wifi performance. There may be some threshold number of BT devices where "n" is fine and "n + 1" slows wireless.

Try some proximity testing. See if moving around affects the wireless speeds. Maybe adding some distance from where the earphones are being used would help.

Not sure what else to suggest. Hopefully someone else will spot some error of...

Make and model earphones? Make and model Bluetooth adapter/device?

First do some additional research to ensure that interference is indeed the problem.

E.g.;

One option may be to change your 2.4 GHz Wifi to one of the 5 GHz channels.

Key is to methodically test and try before getting rid of anything.

Understand your network, its configuration, and what options may be available therein.

Methodically start testing and trying any available options. There will always be trade-offs but you should find some combination that meets your requirements.

May be that just physically moving some device may minimize interference to an unnoticeable level.

Yeah right. I apologize for the lack of information.
I´m currently using the JBL T110BT earphones (Bluetooth frequency: 2.402GHz-2.48GHz) and Qualcom Atheros QCA 9377 Bluetooth 4.1 device.
I´m not quite sure how i can change my 3webgate 2 who uses 2.4 ghz to 5 ghz.
One thing: I opened cmd typed in: netsh wlan show drivers. And apparently if the network adapter supports 802.11a and 802.11g and 802.11n network modes wifi supports 5ghz.
My network adapter supporst: 802.11b 802.11a 802.11g 802.11n 802.11ac. But I cant change it when i go to my gateway 192.168.1.1 because there is no such option changing it from 2.4 to 5 ghz..
