Windows 10: Slow WiFi when Bluetooth is enabled

Hi all


Having some issues here. I have an Intel wireless adapter AC 7265 with the latest drivers in my Lenovo X1 Carbon. For some reason, I'm having major issues with WiFi speeds when my Intel Bluetooth device is enabled. My Bluetooth device has the latest drivers as well.


With Bluetooth disabled, my link speeds are 19/2.5 Mbps. With Bluetooth enabled, my link speeds are 4/1.2 Mbps.


I tried the troubleshooting of this topic: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...s-update/4a20ba4f-33dc-4397-9823-e12dcb2607ba


The above link didn't provide a solution.


Anyone have an idea?

Wifi limited/disconnected when Bluetooth is enabled on Win10

My Bluetooth connection seems to be interfering with my Wifi connection. The interference persists even if no Bluetooth devices are connected to my system. I'm working on Win10, updated from Win7 a few days ago. I did not have this issue before the update.

Scenario:

• Both Bluetooth and Wifi are off
• Switch on Wifi
• Connected to Wifi with full Internet connectivity
• Switch on Bluetooth
• Wifi connection changes to limited connectivity (no Internet) or disconnects
• Disable and re-enable Wifi adapter; alternatively, restart system.
• Connected to Wifi with full Internet connectivity immediately after reconnect
• Wifi connection changes to limited connectivity (no Internet) or disconnects, after a short while (<1m)
• Disable Bluetooth
• Disable and enable Wifi adapter; alternatively, restart system
• Connected to Wifi with full Internet connectivity (same as step 3)

Is anyone else facing the same issue. If yes, is there anything I could do to fix it? My drivers are all up-to-date and I'm working with an Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 2230 adapter on Windows 10 Home 64-bit.

Update: As suggested by Bendito999 here,
changing the advanced power settings of my Wireless adapter to "Maximum Performance" seems to circumvent the issue. This is however not a hard solution and only serves to work around the problem.

Bluetooth and Wifi Conflicts while transferring data from Samsung phone to pc

Hi JohnLattimore1,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Could you please help me with the below information:

1. Is WIFI working when Bluetooth is enabled?
2. What is the make and model of the computer?
   
3. Are you trying to send and receive files via Bluetooth?

I understand how difficult it can be, when the basic features doesn’t work the way they are intended to.
This issue is an indication of faulty drivers or incompatible driver.
This can be fixed by updating the drivers or uninstalling and reinstalling it. I suggest you to follow the steps given below and let us know the results.

Method 1: Run the inbuilt troubleshooter.

1. Go to Settings > Click on Update & Security.
2. Click on Troubleshoot > Click on ‘Internet Connections’.
3. Now click on Run the troubleshooter. After the network troubleshooter completes click on ‘Bluetooth’.
4. Run the troubleshooter and this will try to fix the connectivity issues with the internet and Bluetooth.

Method 2: Update drivers.

Step 1: Update wifi drivers.

1. Press Windows and R key together on your Keyboard.
   
2. Type Devmgmt.msc and hit enter.
3. Go to ‘Network Adapters’ and expand them.
   
4. Right click on the ‘WIFI’ network adapter, and select
   Roll back (If it is enabled) or click on Update Drivers.
   
5. Click on ‘Search automatically for updated driver software’.
   

Step 2: Update Bluetooth drivers.

In the same way you can update or Roll back the ‘Bluetooth’ drivers.

1. Go to ‘Bluetooth’ and expand it.
2. Right click on the ‘Bluetooth’ drivers, and select
   Roll back (If it is enabled) or click on Update Drivers.
3. Click on ‘Search automatically for updated driver software’.
4. Restart the PC after the updating of the drivers completes.

This will update the drivers of WIFI and
Bluetooth. Once the drivers are updated check, if you can use both WIFI
and Bluetooth together. For more information check the
update drivers in windows 10.
I would also suggest you to follow the steps mentioned in the Microsoft article on
Share files over Bluetooth.


Hope it helps.
