ireless you can install linssid https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/linssid and pick a relatively unused channel for your PC wireless. Or just try channels 1, 6 and 11 and see if any of those makes a difference.. If you're using a USB 3.0 device on your PC try turning it off or moving it to a USB 2.0 port and see if that fixes the bluetooth interference. Regards, Lee
