Wifi dropping while streaming audio/video through Bluetooth

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!

Re: Wifi dropping while streaming audio/video through Bluetooth

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.
