I run a bluetooth wireless Wacom Graphire tablet on my MBP OS 10.6.8 and earlier OS's and I use wifi at the same time some of the time. I've found the wacom losses connection every so often and I just hit the button on top and it reconnects. I haven't experienced any disruption of wifi connections that I have noticed. I'm not sure what shuts down the blue tooth wacom connection but the blue light on the connection button on the wacom tablet goes out, just like it does when I shut down the computer. Almost always pressing that button reconnects to the mbp although sometimes it takes pressing the connection button off and on a second time. I'm usually hard wired for my internet but I've not noticed a correlation between Blue tooth connection to the wacom and wife connection. I would think a blue tooth speaker is using more Bluetooth bandwidth more constantly than my wacom which is for the most part idle and it's only when I turn to the lap top that it's active. I've never had it disconnect while I was actively using it. Don't know if that's any help but that's my experience.

If you try to reconnect with BT on, it does not find any WIFI signal. If you then switch BT off, it will find the WIFI signal and reconnect, BT can then be turned back on and paired with the speaker again and it will run just fine for the next 20-30 minutes or so, before you have to repeat the sequence.

I am presently running some tests with the BT switched on but nothing paired, just in case it's the iPad causing the problem, however this will not totally prove that it's the iPad, because there is no BT frequencies present other than it paging the port (if that's what it does)
