After hours trying out different settings on the router, and only at one
occasion with bluetooth enabled have I managed to get a decent download
speed on the M10. My conclusion, after doing some further reading, is
that the Bq Aquaris M10 is what you would call a "poorly designed"
device, such that it is not able to find a good enough channel for wifi
when it competes with bluetooth in the 2.4 GHz band. The tplink router
with the latest firmware has 13 different channels to chose from, and I
have tried more than half of them with different combinations of b/g/n
or mixed. Unfortunately the M10 wifi stays at about 0.1 MB/s unless I
turn bluetooth off and then immediately reach about 30 times that speed.

After upgrading the router to ddwrt firmware the issue appears to be
resolved for now, but I don't take it for granted until I have connected
more times with bluetooth enabled. Still believe it is an issue with the
M10 though, as it was the only out of 6 different Ubuntu, UT, Win7 and
IOS devices having any problems at all with wifi on the original tp-link
router firmware.

I'll report back.

Title:
  M10 wifi slows to a crawl when bluetooth is enabled

Status in Canonical System Image:
  New
Status in indicator-network package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I am having serious wifi performance issues on my Aquaris M10 (running
  rc-proposed r133). When measuring the wifi speed, I get download
  speeds of less than 1/20 compared to my Pro 5 at the same distance
  from the wifi router. This seems to be consistent through reboots. I
  had similar wifi performance also before recently upgrading to rc-
  proposed, which I thought would have fixed the issue.

  I am in the same place testing 3 different ubuntu devices and these are the 
readings of the wifi download speed:
  Laptop: 4 MB/s
  Pro 5: 3.5 MB/s
  Aquaris M10: 0.16 MB/s

  However, upload speed is about the same on all three devices.

  Turning bluetooth off gets Aquaris M10 wifi speed back to sort of
  normal, 2.5-3.4 MB/s. Bluetooth on, again 0.1-0.2 MB/s. Seems the two
  wireless technologies interfere with each other on the M10, while the
  Pro 5 doesn't have that problem.
