    I thought I read about an issue with this somewhere, but now cannot find it.

    When I copy larger files over wifi, my Dell Bluetooth mouse either becomes so slow that it's unusable, or loses connection completely with the M17xR2.

    Doing the same copying using wired ethernet does not affect the mouse.

    Is there a setting change that needs to be made, or do I need an Intel 6300 Wifi card?

    Thanks.
