I’ve discovered my Charge 5 absolutely tanks my internet speed. I’ve heard Bluetooth devices can do this if they have the same frequency as your wifi. This isn’t an issue at my University but when I’m home I can barely use the internet. Anyways, besides the “forgetthis device” on my iPhone, how can I disconnect my Fitbit while I’m using my phone but easily sync it back up when I’m done? 

 

Thank you!

We don't have the option to disable Bluetooth @DavidVDM56 

My first thought would be to try a restart of the router. Most routers, during startup, by default, look for the clearest channel. Hopefully it starts on a different channel. 

Alternatively it is not hard to manually set the WiFi channel.
