More on my own question.
It turns out that bluetooth runs on the same frequencies as woreless
b/g/n. Bluetooth also uses frequency switching to the extent that it
didn't help to relocate my wireless N connection to either end of the
supported spectrum. Wireless ethernet and bluetooth are simply not
compatable in the same area. I will have to keep my USB mouse handy for
those times that I am making heave use of the wireless.
Thank goodness I didn't go out and buy that bluetooth headset...

That's odd, both my keyboard and mouse are wireless of some sort, logitek, and
there does not seem to be any interaction between those and a bluetooth dongle
that I use instead of a serial cable to an old legacy computer in the
basement. There is also an atheros card in my router that I use for my lappy
about half the time. When I can get that bcm4318 to work at all that is.
POS.
