I've been noticing something weird lately with my wireless network...
I have a netgear wgr614v4 wireless router, and a 667Tibook with the D-link dbt-120 bluetooth adapter. I've been using both for months without any issues, until about two days ago, when I noticed my wireless connection was really bad. The signal strength was good, I just couldn't connect to anything at all, or it would sporadically and slowly. I did all of the trouble shooting, including going through all of the wireless channels (twice), and discovered that removing bluetooth instantly re-established the connection.
Now, I can't sync my bluetooth devices without disabling my network (I log all of my mobile phone calls via bluetooth and iCal), and I don't see any way to manage bluetooth, like switching channels, or anything else. I thought all of the issues with bt potentially interfering with wireless networks were resolved, or at least manageable. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this, so I don't have to end up using one or the other?

Hey, thanks for the help everyone, but you need not bother... I figured out what the problem was.
If I'm ever in need of life-saving advice, I know where to come.

Why don't you post what the solution was, rather than leaving everyone hanging?

Oh yeah, I meant to do that...
The fix is in the Bluetooth Serial Utility app; for one of my devices, the Port Type was set to RS-232 instead of Modem... I'm still not exactly sure what difference it makes, but apparently it does.
