    Hi,

    Does Wifi interfere with bluetooth streaming? I am asking because whenever I use my wireless connection when I am using my BH-200 bluetooth headset, the audio gets struck every 20-30 seconds or so. Its really annoying. I have noticed that this problem doesnt take place if I am disconnected from the wireless connection, even if the wifi switch is on in the laptop.

    Is there any way to work around this? Any help would be greatly appreciated

    From what I understand Bluetooth uses the same frequency as Wifi routers and such. Try changing the channel that the router uses until you stop getting interference with your headset. The channel setting should be in the routers main setup page usually accessible with the IP 192.168.1.1
