internet/bluetooth cuts in and out (Drops in and out, ISP goes red in diagnostics) MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) El Captain.

I tried everything and read tons of post/forums how to fix my internet... but what I found was turning off bluetooth makes me internet work consistently at full speed.

I'd like to to know how to use bluetooth and internet together on my macbook bro. If both are on, internet cuts in and out and mostly doesn't work.

Tried diagnostics and all sorts of junk... safe mode reboot... SMS reset... change advanced settings, and other things too.

Any ideas on who to make them both work?

Was the bluetooth simply on? Or was it connecting to something like a mouse or another peripheral ?

Hold down the option key while you click the WiFi icon in the menuBar.

You get a display something like this one:

what do you get for PHY Mode and Channel?

what do you get for RSSI or signal strength?

what do you get for Transmit rate?

and very important, how many other networks do you see?
