Wfi and Bluetooth are not compatible

When bluetooth and wifi are turned on at the same time, my wifi gets deactivated and reactivated at random instances, when looking through some other forums I discovered this, which more or less represents my exact problem: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=190118

I have recently performed a fresh Arch install on an old laptop, here is the output of lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net:

```
01:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565 / AR9565 Wireless Network Adapter [168c:0036] (rev 01)
        Subsystem: Dell Vostro 3470 [1028:020e]
        Kernel driver in use: ath9k
--
02:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL810xE PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller [10ec:8136] (rev 07)
        Subsystem: Dell Device [1028:078a]
        Kernel driver in use: r8169
```

After performing modinfo -p ath9k:

```
debug:Debugging mask (uint)
nohwcrypt:Disable hardware encryption (int)
blink:Enable LED blink on activity (int)
led_active_high:Invert LED polarity (int)
btcoex_enable:Enable wifi-BT coexistence (int)
bt_ant_diversity:Enable WLAN/BT RX antenna diversity (int)
ps_enable:Enable WLAN PowerSave (int)
use_chanctx:Enable channel context for concurrency (int)
use_msi:Use MSI instead of INTx if possible (int)
```

I then enabled bluetooth coexistence, seeing as it was disabled by default for these network cards, however, my issue still persists:

echo "options ath9k btcoex_enable=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf

It should be noted that on windows Bluetooth and Windows do coexist, so I am honestly not sure what the problem is at this point. They both run on 2.4GHz. Any help regarding this would be appretiated!
