    I regularly use my bluetooth headphones to listen to music while I lurk on here. But lately, whenever I start using them, my internet speed drops to the point of almost stopping.

    Is there anyway to fix this interference? :(

    considering that wifi, bluetooth, many cordless phones, microwave ovens, security systems, garage door openers, baby monitors, etc ALL use the same unlicensed 2.4Gz band......

    Nope, you're stuck. You can try to run your wireless router to another channel. Many routers have an 'auto' channel selection. Try that.

    Are you using a BT keybd/mouse also? I had it happen once, after I recently paired. It played for a few minutes, then I saw the keybd/mouse loose connection and the S9 started very noisy until it lost connection. I re-connected and had no such problem since. I do get a bit of sound skips.


    Regards,.....
