With my watch paired and bluetooth on, my wifi connection will stop working after a period of time. If I use 5ghz, turn bluetooth off, or unpair my apple watch, wifi works fine. Both devices are running the latest software releases. They've been factory reset. Ive also tried swapping out my Asus router with an Airport Extreme. I'm currently working with apple support.

Hi
To avoid a duplication of effort, if you still need help after working with Apple Support, please explain what steps have already been tried.
I have tried:
powering off all other wifi devices in my house
changing router settings (pretty much everything related to wifi at one point)
changing routers completely (asus, netgear, apple)
Connected to a third party wifi
different apple watch sport
factory resetting the phone and watch and setting up as new with minimal setup on each
I'm sure there are other things Ive tested but cant remember off the top of my head.
Honestly what I was hoping for was someone else that might be running this same setup and seeing issues. (iPhone 6, 2.4ghz wifi, bluetooth on, apple watch sport paired)
This bandwidth test screen capture shows what i am experiencing. Notice the download just completely drops off. Sometimes the upload will too. Without the watch paired, it will run flawlessly for days.

When "factory resetting", did you restore your iPhone using recovery mode?
Those were the steps I tried. Problem still occurred.
Apple Watch causing Wifi problems on iPhone?
