So I'm on official cm 10.2 and I have a problem where if I connect to a Bluetooth device my WiFi goes to crap. I've done a full nights research on this problem and apparently its pretty common post android 4.2. The only fix I have read about that seems to work for people is to get a duel band router and run 5GHz WiFi. So before I go buy yet another router to try to solve this problem I would like to know if any of you have run into this problem as well, or do not have it at all, or any fix other than the 5 GHz router? Is stock ROM having this problem as well? PA?
Thanks in advance
Your Bluetooth must be on and connected and in some cases you have to run speed test.net to see it get slow but mine simply loses signal after I try to surf. Or gets so slow as to be unusable. I'm streaming audio to a Bluetooth headset.
Most devices behave this way because bluetooth is also on 2.4ghz as well. A modern inverter style microwave oven in the kitchen can also FUBAR WiFi too because they also operate in this band. If you are that heavy of a user 5ghz would probably help...though keep in mind 5ghz doesn't travel as far.

I have the same problem with Nexus 7 android 4.3 but not with my LG optimus L9 android 4.2.2 phone. Wifi and Bluetooth both works fine with the phone but not with Nezus 7
Update: I solved my problem by buying a 2.4Ghz / 5Ghz dual band router.

So I have a issue, I experience buffering when I try to stream audio via Bluetooth To my Philips fidelio while on wifi. If I turn off Bluetooth the buffering goes away. Can Bluetooth and wifi not be used at the same time? I have a 2.4 ghz wifi router only. Also if I turn off wifi "use 4g" and just use Bluetooth the buffering goes away as well. Does anyone else have this issue?

This happens on many phones because the wifi and Bluetooth often share the same antenna since space is crucial, both operate in the same general frequency range. Not much you can do I don't think.
I wonder if I got a 2.4 & 5ghz router if that would solve the problem

i got the same problem: everytime i stream music to my bluetooth headset and leave wifi turned on my nexus looses wifi connection when the screen is turned off.

That's a great experiment to try. I remember back on my nokia n95 wifi and bt stuttered together cause they shared antenna. But surely 5ghz has a desperate antenna? Curious.
I have the same issue. If I keep the screen on it doesn't buffer. The best solution I have found is to put the phone in clock mode so you don't get screen burn in. I used tasker to setup a profile when the phone is plugged in.
I haven't tried the 5ghz wifi but heard that works. My phone sees my 5ghz router but it won't connect. I tried all the channels but I guess that's a different bug to sort out.

Just tried this and it seems to be working for me as well ... Thanks for your help
Did you try setting your phones wifi to 5ghz only in the advanced setting ?
I think Franco kernel updater has a setting to fix this.

I've noticed that when streaming video over HDMI with my Bluetooth mouse paired, it sometimes gets choppier than when I turn the mouse off. Similar effect I guess.
If screen on fixes this than that's a different issue than antenna sharing bandwidth problem. Sounds more like the android 4 power reduction bug kicking in throttling the CPU or data or something.

I tried that and it still won't connect although it sees the 5ghz. Not a big deal because the range on my 5ghz sucks anyways, i just wanted to try it and see if it fixed this issue.
I got the Phillips speakers as well. I'm a little disappointed by the slow charge and low speaker volume for the price, but it works.
I did an alternative setup for my dad with a pair of cheap computer speakers from Walmart and Bluetooth dongle from Ebay. I also got a desktop cradle with spare battery slot that does a fast charge. In total it ended up costing a lot less than the Phillips speakers and probably sounds better.
I'm having an issue where my WiFi connection drops. Tab still says connected but I get no throughput. All other wireless devices still work. I have to toggle the wifi on the tab on and off to reconnect. Router is an actiontec C1000A.
I've read other threads where people had similar issues and exchanged tablets for new ones only to have them do the same. Router is good, it works with all my other devices without issue. What good is a WiFi only tablet if the WiFi sucks eggs?

Well my wifi has been brilliant, the only issue I had was that although my wifi router was working with every other device and even my Note 10.1 it didnt want to play youtube videos on it. So I changed connection to my other broadband and it worked a treat so even though your router works with other devices it doesn't mean the tablet is faulty just that the router and tablet don't like each other.
Best way to try this is go to a friends house and try their connection or go to a coffee shop where they have free wifi and hopefully you will see wifi doesn't suck eggs lol. Anyways hope your problem gets sorted.

Are you just complaining or are you asking for help?............ If your asking for help please tell us if you are using 2.5 or 5ghz, b, g, n, ac, channel #. Many things can cause wifi issues and sometime a monitoring app from the play store like "Wifi analyzer" can help narrow down whats really going on.
Im asking for help by complaining. I'll get some more detailed info on my network and post it up later.
My modem/router was set to auto detect... I used wifi analyzer to set it to a less crowded fixed channel. I also turned off 802.11n. It had b, g and n simultaneously... Now it's just b and g. So that's 2.4 GHz? I don't have super Internet, so no real need for "n". I'll report back after I see if this changes anything. The security is WPA2-Personal...don't know if that has any effect. Any other ideas are appreciated.
When I enable bluetooth my nexus 7 wil not or very poorly connect to my wifi network. When I do get connection, the speed is terribly slow.
When I switch off bluetooth it's all ok.
Anyone has this problem as well? I love my nexus 7 but it had the worst wifi on any of my tablets I've ever had, including those chinese cheap things. It will never connect to my 5 GHz. network.
My wifi on my tabpro 8.4 is fine until I connect my Bluetooth game controller to it.
It only affects the 2.4ghz part of the card though. i ran some tests and with the bluetooth controller turned off, my 2.4ghz wifi signal was perfect. As soon as i connected the controller, it seems to interfere and all the 2.4ghz wifi signals in my area disappear and reappear every 10 seconds.....as soon as i turn the pad off they all stay there indefinitely.
the pad does not affect 5ghz signal though.
i wonder if there is a fix for this or if it is just a hardware issue?
I know it is just this tab as when i run the same tests on my galaxy s5 there is not interference from the BT controller
Can anyone help me?
I just got a keyboard and mouse, bluetooth. They work awesome but they kill the WiFi on 2.4ghz. I don't have a 5ghz access point at home and none of the places I'd use it have 5ghz right now so it sucks. I'm guessing that no one responded because I don't think k it matters if you're on an ios, Android, or Windows system they both run on 2.4 and conflict and cause issues. Bummer.
Bluetooth runs on the 2.4Ghz frequency and does channel hopping (it's supposed to detect the in use frequencies though) if the game controller is old (pre BT3) it might disable some functions that allow BT to Coexist with wifi on the 2Ghz band, I did a quick test with my BT music receiver (BT 4.0) and switched to my 2Ghz wifi AP I didn't notice any interference, I'll test my ps3 controller later when I get back home to see how that functions.
BTW I suggest keeping it on 5Ghz if you have an 802.11AC router since you can get a link rate up to 433Mbps , N networks only connect at 150Mbps with this tablet .

He said he doesnt have 5ghz mate

I am looking for an app that lets me control what frequency my phone uses for WiFi.
Alright....I am so sick and tired of all the issues I get with WiFi on my Nexus 5x. It seems like every new build I get more and more issues. Stock, Pure Nexus, and RR Roms have all given me issues.
I know that this was an option in the WiFi settings pre-Android 6.0. With how many issues with WiFi has been present in N and M, I have read that controlling what frequency has helped other people.
With the removal of the WiFi frequency option the updated WiFi code is going to try and secure the best connection. The problem with that is my Nexus 5ghz doesn't like connecting to 5ghz. The issue is that my works router has multiple Access Points that broadcast in 2.5ghz and 5ghz. My phone won't stay connected to WiFi because it connects to a 2.5 and then goes to a 5ghz thinking it is a better connection
