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.
