Hey everyone, so I have been having a problem recently.
I recently gotten a bluetooth headset. It is a BlueAnt Q1. I've updated it to the most current firmware, and otherwise have had no problems with it.
The last few weeks I have been noticing the Pre's wifi dropping out while I am listening or watching a internet stream with my Blueant Q1 connected. The stream stops, and either Stitcher/Pandora/Mediafly reports an error of some sort. The only reason I know its wifi is because I tested it. Watching intently until I see the problem crop up. The phones wifi drops down to 0 bars, then that little icon with three dots might show up as it reconnects. I've tested it on two of my routers, one of which is a wireless bridge. This happens on both. I've had my phone for I think 6 months now and never had problems with wifi or streaming content before I started using bluetooth.
Here are some specs and equipment I use.
Palm Pre Plus (Verizon)
BlueAnt Q1
Two Asus Wireless Routers, one acting as a wireless bridge
(Problem happens on both)
Asus WL-520gU (DD-WRT)
Asus WL-520gC (Wireless Bridge, DD-WRT)
Everything is upto date on firmware and upgrades. Also when this problem arised, I haven't had any changes in firmware/program versions to upgrade before or since I've gotten the bluetooth headset. Other than upgrading the headset to the current firmware.
The thing is, I don't remember this happening the first week or so using my bluetooth headset.
Any advice? Or perhaps this might be a known problem? Any help would be appriciated, thanks!

I posted too soon. Apparently its my two current routers dd-wrt firmware that caused the problem. Used an old non-ddwrt router and it was fine. Changed to a different version on both my current routers and seems to work fine. Odd but I'm not complaining.
