Bluetooth mouse slows down wifi

I recently bought logitech bluetooth mouse V470 to use with my Thinkpad s440. The problem is whenever the mouse is connected, my wifi slows down dramatically, turning off the mouse recovers the internet speed.Can anyone suggest a fix for this issue

You could try changing the channel that your wi-fi uses for creating the LAN. You would need to do this in your router configuration.

Bluetooth connection slowing down Wifi connection

I have seen few discussions here about this topic but I haven't found the right solution to my problem.
So each time I turn on the Bluetooth connection the wifi connection becomes really slow. I am using the Bluetooth connection mostly for my external keyboard.
I am using Maverick 10.9.2 OS.
I read somewhere that the problem occurs because of the frequency range that my wifi and bluetooth are using, currently both are using 2.4 Ghz.
However, I am not able to change the frequency from my pocket wifi router (from 2.4 to 5 Ghz) which could solve the problem.
Any ideas, is there any other solution to this problem?
I guess I could just buy a USB keyboard instead Bluetooth but it's not ideal.

Unfortunately, it's a problem that's been going on for years (at least 4) and I've yet to find a satisfactory answer.
It shouldn't be a problem with the 2.4GHz range - but you could always test this, of course, by purchasing a dual band router. I have one of the 5th generation Apple Extreme's and it works quite well (though, if I were buying now, I would upgrade to the newest AE).
My only other suggestion would be to take your MacBook Pro into your local Apple Store and see if they know how to fix the problem.
Best of luck,
Clinton

DO PUSH NOTIFICATION SLOW DOWN WIFI OR 4G CONNECTIONS?

DO PUSH NOTIFICATION SLOW DOWN WIFI OR 4G CONNECTIONS?

I have a 3Gs and I've tried everything. I even restored as new phone and the issue continues. It has to do with the Wifi antenna and the bluetooth antenna, I believe they are both the same. I get intermittent wifi at home, work and other hotspots. I also get static on my bluetooth earpiece. I have to hold the phone within 6 inches of my ear for the static to go away. If I take the phone off of headset during that call, the phone is crystal clear. I have done the forget this device. I've done the turn off iPhone and turn off router at home, star the router up and wait, then turn iphone back on. Same issues continue. It has to do with the software. I'm not sure how they power the antenna, but maybe the software update 4.3.3 has effected it.

Intel Wireless N-1030: Bluetooth slows down WiFi

I own a Dell L702x which has the Intel Wireless N-1030 which is a combined Wi-Fi & Bluetooth device. Today, I connected a Bluetooth speaker to the laptop, which worked wonderfully, although the Wi-Fi was slowing down when the laptop was transmitting to the speaker (i.e. when the speaker was playing music). I haven't used the Bluetooth adapter for ages, so I don't know if this problem is recent or not. Has any of you had already a similar problem with this particular adapter or any other?

Apple bluetooth mouse slow, possibly even sluggish?

Ok, my bluetooth apple mouse has started to annoy me, it seems to be quite slow (i usually use a MS wirless mouse, but decided to try out the apple one again) basically its just quite slow and very hard to move it just a small distance.
To fix it I have:
cleaned the optical sensor
changed batteries
moved it to fastest tracking speed
re-set it
used it on different surfaces
updated bluetooth firmware
basically everything I can think of but no joy, it still seems slow, is there anything I can do or is it likely to need to be replaced?
Also my microsoft one is on full speed, and its just about right although i would like it a bit faster, is there anything I can do?
also what does the small + and - switch do its the one under the battery cover
Cheers for the help guys

I am experiencing the same issue. I have done a good bit of troubleshooting to narrow down the problem, and i wanted to share those results with this thread in hopes that we can come to a conclusion and hopefully fix it.
First off, this issue seems to be isolated to bluetooth wireless devices and wireless network traffic. I have a Logitech G7 bluetooth wireless mouse, and my Macbook is the 5.1 version
I have seen other threads that are trying to blame their mouse lag on their monitor, and have said that plugging the monitor's power to a different wall jack fixed their problem. This made no difference in my situation. Even having my External monitor completely out of the loop, i still experienced issues with bluetooth mouse + traffic over the wireless causing significant hitching and lagging of the mouse during the period of the traffic (i.e. copying 500mb file over network).
When i have my bluetooth mouse hooked up and i am copying a large file over the wireless, it lags horribly. If i take my hand and use the trackpad on the laptop itself *during the same copy*, it works fine... it is ONLY the bluetooth mouse.
If i hook an ethernet cable directly to the laptop, all issues with lag are gone when i use the network.
So to recap:
ethernet cable + bluetooth mouse + network traffic = no mouse lag
wireless ethernet + trackpad + network traffic = no mouse lag
wireless ethernet + bluetooth mouse + network traffic = HORRIBLE MOUSE LAG
ON TOP OF THAT.... the issue is EXACTLY the same in Vista as it is in OSX

IMac slows down wifi/LAN cable connection

Hello,
I came across a quiet unique and annoying problem, that I have not seen being discussed so far.
I spend the last 3 weeks trying to solve my internet/wifi connection following all kinds of posts here.
Problem: Wifi/Lan internet connection is slow (less than 0.8mbit/s)
Problem only appears when I login with an iMac via wifi OR lag cable
iMac, 2011 27`` Mac OS 10.7.5
Background:
I have a 20mbit/s internet connection with my provider. works fine on iPad, iPhone, appleTV HTC one mini, etc… BUT as soon, as I login with my iMac, the internet connection slows down to less than 1 mbit/s
I have tried following solutions:
- live box (router) was exchanged and is brand new
- security settings on router changes (wpa2 etc)
- all channels on router tested from 1-13
- keychain saved passwords for Wifi and router deleted, PRAM reset
- renewed lease of connected devices (no IP conflict)
- shut down wifi on iMac - connection with all devices great, as soon as i switch wifi on, all devices lose their high speed connection and go down to less than 1mbit/s
- connected iMac via LAN cable: same problem, all speed is lost
- iMac is not in the network - speed is great
- connected iMac via time capsule wifi, same problem. connected iMac via netgear extender, same problem
also, if I open network preferences and start the "assist me" app and run diagnostics, all dots are green except the ISP and server, bit most of the time they switch to green immediately, but connection is still slow.
Reception bar is on "3", so signal strength is no problem, and I´d like to emphasize that this is also happening on LAN cable. and again, if the iMac is disconnected from wifi AND / OR LAN, all other devices work fine.
Would love to hear your thoughts!
Thanks!

Although I have been on Mac OS for a while now, I have never had to troubleshoot faulty network in the mac itself.
OSX does apparently have a safe mode boot..
OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
Try that.. as that gives you the same thing as windows with all the extras left out, so you get a basic operating system only and you can see if the problem still exists.. if it does.. I would simply bite the bullet.. wipe the Mac.. reinstall the OS and then carefully reinstall your applications from original disks/downloads and move your operating files back .. but start a different user on the computer and copy back the min you need to get working again.
If the problem still happens even in safe mode boot then do a hardware test.. because it is possible something has actually failed at the hardware level.

Why Does My Mouse Slow Down?

Lifetime Windows user recently switched to Mac. I plugged in a USB mouse and as I get close to whatever I am looking to click on and naturally slow down, the cursor slows down exponentially. I read something about this being how macs are, but want to verify that and see what can be done about turning that off if it is the case. It is just awful in my opinion.

So you can minimize LabVIEW 8.5 and the speed returns to normal? What operating system are you using?
Yes, if I minimize LabVIEW (or switch to another program), my mouse speed returns to normal. I'm running Windows XP w/ SP2, and using a Logitech Trackman Wheel.

I noticed this once with Google Earth. Turns out my mouse drivers were set to disable acceleration in games. This slowed the mouse down when Google Earth was in focus. I'm not sure if any drivers treat LabVIEW as a game, but it's worth a look.
Your fix worked for me. I turned off the "Disable Acceleration in Games" setting and it worked great. I don't program at home, so it's not an issue for me, but I imagine this could be an annoyance for anybody out there that also does any gaming. Just an idea for NI.

Logitech mouse - slowing down

Hi, I’m using a Logitech keyboard and mouse with my Macbook. Usually works fine. Recently I’ve had to increase the tracking speed of the mouse (under system preferences) a couple of times because the tracking wasn’t fast enough, it seems to slow down. Now it is on maximum tracking speed but it is painfully slow and I feel like I need a whole table for a mouse mat to move to pointer from one side of the screen to the other. Please does anyone have any idea why this appears to have slowed down or suggestions? The keyboard seems to be working okay. I have changed the batteries in the mouse, but that didn't help.
Thanks.

I suggest you contact Logitech or post your question in the OS X forums as it's not really related to a compatibility issue between Mac OS and Windows, which is the focus of this forum.

Mavericks Mouse Slow-down

Hi All,
Since upgrading to Mavericks, my the mouse periodically reponds in a delayed fashion (Mac Pro), moving across the screen in slow motion. I've checked the CPU Load in the Activity Monitor, and it shows 95% idle, so the computer isn't bogging down. It's a bluetooth wireless mouse, but has always been very responsive before. Stranger still, when I use the mouse on my Macbook Air, running the same version of Mavericks, I do not experience the issue. Any suggestions for troubleshooting would be very much appreciated...this is really becoming a problem. It isn't constant, but seems to come and go regardless of how many applications I have open. There's plenty of RAM in the system (18GB), so I don't think it's a memory issue.
Thanks!

Random slow down wifi connection on yosemite.

Hi,
I recently bought a MacBook Pro Retina Mid 2014, since it came with Maveriks pre-installed, I updated it to Yosemite right away.
When I run a Speed test (Yosemite 10.10.1), it allways happends this to me:
This down marked by the red arrow, is what bothers me... that does not happend if I boot with boot camp with windows and I run the same test, the speed graph for windows 8, in same computer, and same environment is all flat.
I've tryed all methods like deleting all wifi configurations from the control pannel, deleting the wifi configig files and restarting, reseting the SMC, with no luck.
Is apple working allready in this issue?, anyone else having the same trouble?

Hello,
Is that Interface dragged to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON?
The Interface that connects to the Internet, needs to be drug to the top of System Preferences>Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON.

System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.

I've had poor wifi connection and poor WIFI range after updating to iOS 7.
Resetting Network Settings fixed it.

Mouse lag / slow down due to bandwidth useage?

I'm using a late 2009 Macbook Pro running Lion. All software is up to date.
I have a Magic Mouse and also a Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000.
The mouse slows down and becomes very jerky and laggy jumping all over under certain curcumstances, I have been able to replicate this each time.
If I am downloading using uTorrent.
If there is a movie being watched on my Apple TV 2 streamed from this computer.
It seems unusual that using bandwidth would effect the mouse, but this does seem to be the case.
I upgraded from 4GB RAM to 8GB RAM today in the hope that this would solve the problem, but it persists.
I don't have a wired mouse to test with. Could this somehow be a Bluetooth issue?
Any ideas please?

This is possibly a Bluetooth issue. Since RAM has a way of redistributing resources, it's possible that your recent upgrade may address the problem.
But it could very well be a power issue. Replace the batteries with ordinary alkaline cells and note the difference. If there is a positive change, you might consider charging your rechargable batteries more completely.
Please post your results here.

I just figured out the print quality issue for my wife with her new iMac and new printer.
She replaced both at once and she couldn't understand why her Artisan 730 was lower quality then her Epson R280 when they had the same specs.
Turns out the newer printer had the option to connect via wifi which we used during setup.
The driver options are completely different depending on how you connect.
Once I connected via USB the correct options were available and the print quality was better.
Looking at the R2400 it dies not have wifi, but while researching the problem for my wife someone esle was having an issue updating to the latest printer driver.
If you go into the print utility from the Printer and Scanner system preference and under the general tab you should have driver 5.5.
One user had to delete the old printer driver before Software Update loaded the newer printer driver.

On my MacBook Pro (w Snow Leopard) I always had to reconnect my wifi at home when it woke up. I upgraded my router from an old Netgear to a newer N D-Link and stopped having to do that.
I would be surprised you would have that problem with an Airport Extreme, you might check to see if there is a firmware update for it.

Time Machine WIFI slows down and Fine after I unplug it?

My Time Machine WIFI slows down to an absolute crawl and then after I unplug it and plug it back in, it's back to normal. Can someone help me?

My Time Machine WIFI slows down to an absolute crawl and then after I unplug it and plug it back in, it's back to normal.
This is a classic case of the effects of wireless interference from other networks around you. See the link at the bottom for more information about this.
It might first help to understand why things improve when you unplug the Time Capsule and then power it back up. When you do this, the Time Capsule will scan to find the best available wireless channels to use at the time.
Unfortunately, other wireless routers are doing the same thing all the time, so after a few hours or a day or two, the channel(s) that the Time Capsule was using become overcrowded and the wireless slows down to a crawl. Cordless phones can also create interference issues for a wireless network as well as any number of other electronic devices.
Unless you can convince other users around you to turn off their wireless routers, there is not much that you are going to be able to do to come up with a permanent fix. For now, locate the Time Capsule as far away from any outside walls in your home as possible and use the 5 GHz band for as many connections as you can.
A friend of mine who recently moved into a new apartment complex has the same problem. He has to restart his wireless router at least twice a day, sometimes more on the weekends. Too many wireless networks.....not enough channels.
