[SOLVED]Ralink RT-3290 Wifi Dropping after changing bluetooth settings

Hi,

I have the Ralink RT-3290 WiFi and Bluetooth hardware on my arch Linux machine. After installation the WiFi worked fine (about 3-4 months) till I tried to make the Bluetooth work as well. I followed different posts to make my Bluetooth work but it failed to work, so I gave up. I noticed that now my WiFi works fine as long as I don't have high download/upload speeds. About 30 seconds after my download speed reaches approximately 1 Mbps my WiFi drops and I cannot connect to my WiFi till I turn off the WiFi hardware and turn it back on.

Some relevant debugging messages:

Are you sure that it started happening immediately after your bluetooth tinkering? How old is the hardware?

Yes, I'm sure. Hardware (laptop) is two years old.

Anyway, after trying everything, I simply changed the WiFi channel to 6 and it's fixed now. Thanks.

Haha, good to know that you fixed it. Please edit your first post and prepend [solved] to the title.
