The bluetooth and wifi drivers will co-operate to ensure they can't

and let buffering sort it out.

Well, in theory that's all very nice, but in practice it apparently
doesn't work that way.

As I said, problems with several devices. Laptop, (Android) tablets
(i.e. the example of the antenna/arial switching block diagram) and
(Android) smartphones. Three different brands, of which two major ones.
Many, many different programs/apps. All these programs/app did work
correctly when either Wi-Fi or Bluetooth was *not* used. And the case
which could be fixed - the laptop - was fixed by using an extra USB
Bluetooth dongle.

*If* it's not an interference or hardware problem, it can (IMO) only
be a problem in the low-level software, i.e. the switching or/and
buffering not working correctly. For the Android tablet/smartphones one
can't fix such lower-level software.

So this is one of the very few exceptions where I let actual practical
experience overrule theory.

If others don't have these problems, then good for them. But that
doesn't mean they don't/can't exist.

Did you try changing channels on the router ?

Bluetooth is supposed to have AFH (Adaptive Frequency-hopping).
Try channel 1 or channel 13/14 (depending on continent). This
could be a setting on the router.

Switching to 5GHz Wifi is another solution, but one that might
not propagate well in the house. The advantage of 5GHz Wifi, is
it doesn't suffer interference from USB3 cables. USB cables
are supposed to have a broad interference peak at 2.5GHz.
