Magic Mouse vs. wireless internet connection

[Oktober]

Yesterday I purchased a magic mouse and paired it with my iMac running SL and that was fine. Then my iMac decided to keep loosing its connection with our wireless router - Linksys by Cisco WAG160N - and again today it has been doing it again, but more often. So I have resorted back to my mighty mouse (wired) and so far *touches wood* it has been fine.

What could be the problem? Surely a bluetooth pairing can't possibly interfere with a wireless internet connection, can it?

Did you try changing channels on your WiFi router. I use the magic mouse on my MacBook and have no issues at all.

Isn't the MM BT? If so, does it really interfere with the wifi signal? Either way, I'd change channels.

Thanks for the idea. I have changed the channel twice and so far so good. A bit of trial and error is required.

Well if it's loosing the connection you may want to tighten it.

i have a BT microsoft 5000 mouse and i have had no problems with it interfering with either of the routers I have had; the Linksys WRT160N and now the Apple Airport Extreme. I am going to be buying the MM soon.
