Merry Christmas everyone!

Just a question, has anybody else noticed that bluetooth is obviously interfered with when you try to stream via Airtunes or try to use a lot of bandwidth via wlan? My MX900 suddenly starts to behave much more incontrollable when I put some heavy load on the wlan.

I've experienced the opposite: Bluetooth can interfere with AirPort.

They use the same frequencies, so it's not surprising. Changing AirPort's channel can help, though, depending on what other sources of interference are also around.

It's no big surprise, but just kinda interesting. The wireless keyboard is not affected, so it is obviously a bit more robust than the mouse. Even running with intereference robustness on, but looks like that only protects Airport from beeing disturbed by other signals, and not preventing Airport from disturbing other signals.
