Looking at a couple of WiFi/bluetooth de-snaggling pages, I was (a)
surprised to learn that the two were in the same RF neighbourhood, that
seems like bad planning, and (b) see that either technology *can* use
some automation to avoid congested channels.  Perhaps your Mac *is*
discovering and avoiding problem frequencies with the bluetooth.

The various other solutions offered won't be do-able by everyone.  

You can't always change the position of wireless and bluetooth devices,
since they're fixed inside the chassis of things, unless you're using a
USB dongle.  But moving the position of everything to change a reception
pattern may be possible, and you might only have to move something an
inch to move it out of a dead zone, or out of somewhere that received
interference.  

Changing USB cables around may help, some are poorly shielded and
radiate interference.  

And if you're prone to external interference (microwave ovens, video
transmitters, cordless phones), you *may* not be able to do anything
about them, certainly not if they're not yours.  Video transmitters
often have a frequency selector switch, I know I have one with the
opposite problem (it's disrupted badly by WiFi).  And maybe moving a
cordless phone base station could change things.

This email brought to you by potato omelates: Cut three medium-sized
potatoes into pieces, and boil them for ten minutes, then smash them
(that's mash them only once, so they're a bit chunky). Stir up four
eggs, like you're going to make scrambled eggs. Mix potatoes and eggs
together. Melt a large lump of butter in a frypan. Slowly fry (turn the
flame down low) small helpings until golden brown. Replenish the butter
as you go along, don't burn the butter. Tip out any butter that's
starting to burn, as you go along.
