Bluetooth + Wifi Interference issues

Hi, I recently bought a Magic Mouse for my MacBook Air. My wifi connection worked fine before (I had the Bluetooth turned off, no bluetooth devices at all), but after I started using the bluetooth for the mouse, the wifi connection is almost unusable. Sometimes is better and I don't have interferences at all, sometimes is worse - but most of the time is very slow. Changing the wifi channel sometimes works, but only as a temporary solution. Turning off the bluetooth restores the connection to the normal speed.
Anyone with the same problem? Any solution for this, besides stop using bluetooth?

MacBook Air (Late 2010), Mac OS X (10.6.6), 13", 128GB storage, 4GB RAM

Try restarting your router so it can choose the channel with the least interference. If you have 5Ghz capability that would be ideal.

Here are other things that affect it, maybe something will "ring a bell".

Thank you!

It really works for me (MBP late 2010).
