Want reliable WiFi with retina Macbook pro? Turn off bluetooth!

No just got back. Actually I only did 42 miles. Averaged about 19 M/H. I road a fairly flat course. Only about 1500 feet of climbing.

Sure thing. How many examples would you like? Let's start with one.

Look at the HP Envy line of notebooks.

...[blah, blah, blah]...

Then of course if looks are all you care about buy another MBP.

I suggest you take it back because simply it is not RIGHT.

That is your opinion. You seem to have a difficult time of grasping the concept of a technical support forum. People come here to get their issues resolved. Not to "take it back because simply it is not RIGHT."

Good by you are not worth the effort. Have a great life.

Bye now 😍!!

hi iaeon

i have the same problem with my rétina , everytime i connect my bose soundlink speaker in bluetooth or a philips headset 9001 in bluetooth the wifi is lagging and it's no possible to surf on safari or app store so there is a serious problem of interference between wifi and bluetooth on this rétina.

it's very annoying, i tried to change channel of my router ( 2,11,13,6) but with no result 😟 sometimes it's work both together but only for a short time no more than 2 minutes !!!

i dont know what you will do but me i will wait mountain lion to see if it's better or not !! i hope that ingeeneres of apple will work on this problem !!!

sorry for my english 😉 i am french!!

Do you guys have a dual band wireless router that you can test your MBPr with ? If you hold down the option key and click on the WiFI Menu Extra, note down the channel number. (If this is between channe 1 and 11, then you are on the 2.4 Ghz network).

Bluetooth should only affect 2.4 Ghz, so if you have a dual band router and you use the 5 Ghz network to connect your WiFi network, you should not see this issue happening anymore.

But if you do see the issue when using a 5 Ghz network too, then this has nothing to do with Bluetooth.

My mbpr has also issues with bluetooth and wifi not working well at the same time. I changed my wifi channel from 6 to 5 and the problem is solved!

Bluetooth should only affect 2.4 Ghz, so if you have a dual band router and you use the 5 Ghz network to connect your WiFi network, you should not see this issue happening anymore.

You are right, but you will not be able to use iPad and iPhone whitch operate in 2.4Ghz mode. That means you always have to switch the router, this would be nonsense. Its clearly a rMBP problem and this is not a long term solution.

While am waiting mine to come, i hope not to have this problem...

I had a problem with wifi on my Macbook pro with retina. When I would wake it up from sleep the wifi would cut in/out for a few seconds then work. And when it was sleeping it would drop wifi (downloads would pause).

This is what I did today and so far it's fixed the problem:

1)reset smc

2)reset pram

Actually if the computer goes to "SLEEP" it is supposed to stop downloading. That's like you doing yard work while you are Sleeping.

Sleep is Sleep. Nothing else going on.

Except with Mountain Lion's Power Nap, that is.

Hello Syrius777,

There is a solution to that problem.

I got a router which has both the 2.4 GHz and the 5 GHz frequenties. (it acts like two diffirent connections)

It's the Sitecom Wireless Simultaneous Dualband 300N XR Gigabit Gaming Router II WL-309.

I use the 5Ghz signal with my desktop and the 2.4Ghz signal for my Iphone 4.

Hope it helps.

Get a wireles n router, just about every wireless device uses the 2.4 spectrum (cordless phones, basic wifi, remote controls, etc), so get the right gear and both will work perfectly.

While trying out the solutions or work arounds by various experts - I recommend you logging a support call to Apple; They will also help.
