Stereo Bluetooth Headset interfering with my WiFi signal

[Notrix]

Hi All,

I have an Amazon Fire TV Stick connected to my TV's HDMI port and I wanted to connect my Bluetooth Headset with that device.

After Pairing it with my fire TV Stick for the first time, A message popped up " Headset may impact Wifi Performance, switch from 2.4 Ghz to 5 Ghz router for smooth performance"

I pressed ok, and when I started a youtube Video, I noticed a sudden fall in the quality of the video, before connecting to the headset, I enjoyed smooth 1080P @ 60 FPS streaming, but Bluetooth headset has heavily impacted my performance.

Is there any work around or should I purchase a Dual Band Router to eliminate the problem?

The range of 5ghz is far less than 2.4ghz, and performanc edrops off, you need to ensure your router is set to a minimum of 40 for the channel bandwidth and frequency between 40-52 for best performance. Using a WIFI analysis app on a mobile can be useful.

How can i change the channel bandwidth? Can you please guide through?
