> when the wifi gets unusually frisky the bluetooth drops out

Oh so that is why my bluetooth audio gets choppy when I walk past the wifi access point in the hallway? I've never even thought about that before other than been annoyed by it.

How utterly inconvenient that they occupy the exact same frequencies. I should probably get a 5 GHz wifi access point...

There's a reason they're all on 2.4GHz.

Upgrading to 5ghz is worth it. My latency was cut in half.

My issue is money and space. I'd like to cram it into the same tiny little box that already houses the fibre-to-ethernet converter as well as the router. I'm also not sure if it would penetrate the walls and reach all rooms.
