WIFI AND BLUETOOTH FINALLY SOLVED, NO REALLY - YOSEMITE 10.10


If your Wi-Fi source is capable of generating a 5 GHz Wi-Fi network, try that to help avoid conflicts with Bluetooth.

Hi Eric ... thank you very much for responding. After I posted this I kept checking and found out some of the instability at least with the Wii and USB came from the Bluetooth interface that had turned itself on during the El Capitan Update. After I turned Bluetooth off .. improvement and after your advice of deleting Bluetooth pan another hopeful improvement .... many thanks for your response and your help. 🙂
