2018 Mac Mini bluetooth and Wi-Fi interference

This week moved from late 2012 Mac Mini to a new 2018 Mac Mini. Same physical location, network, Apple bluetooth keyboard, Apple bluetooth mouse between the old and new Macs. In short, bluetooth connections to keyboard and mouse drop constantly when using wifi on new Mac (and after a few minutes Wi-Fi connection stops working completely). When connected via ethernet everything works fine. Hardware or software defect bug? Mojave 10.14.1.

Thank you!

Mac mini (2018), macOS Mojave (10.14.1), null

Like you, upgraded from 2012 to 2018. A little sad and excited. Though six year, my 2012 (quad core) never missed a beat and everything - just worked.

Unfortunately, Wifi & Bluetooth dropouts on my 2018 model have been nothing but trouble. That is, until I changed my modem Wifi setting to 5ghz.

Since then, no drop outs. Older usb cables work and problem solved. If it wasn't for the forum, I would have taken it back. Struggled through for almost two months.

Still glad I upgraded, however, find myself thinking of the previous trouble free experience....
