Hello, I want to know, if there's any way to make bluetooth not interfere with Wi-Fi of 2.4 Ghz frequency, when using Windows.Media.Casting CastingDevicePicker in UWP application via C# Code?

P.S. Without changing frequency to 5Ghz on Wi-Fi

    Hello,

    Here are some suggestions to reduce interference between Bluetooth and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi:

    Use Bluetooth 5 (if available): Bluetooth 5 uses more efficient frequency hopping and channel selection, which can help reduce interference with Wi-Fi. However, this requires both the Bluetooth device and the device hosting the Bluetooth adapter to support Bluetooth 5.

    Channel Selection: Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is not using channels that overlap with Bluetooth frequencies. Typically, Wi-Fi channels 1, 6, and 11 are used, while Bluetooth uses all channels but spreads its signal across them. Using one of these non-overlapping channels might help.

    Update Drivers and Firmware: Make sure all your devices, including your computer, router, and Bluetooth peripherals, have the latest firmware and drivers installed. This can help optimize performance and reduce interference.

    Please note that while these steps can help reduce interference, it might not be completely eliminated due to the inherent nature of the shared frequency band.

    Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Coexistence Mode: Some Wi-Fi routers and Bluetooth devices support a coexistence mode that reduces interference by managing traffic between both wireless technologies.
