AC 7260: WiFi alone works fine, but drops drastically when Bluetooth is on

Hello Guys,

 

I have the Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 running in my ASUS TP300LA notebook.

When Bluetooth is disabled, the WiFi connection works absolutely fine. But as soon as I enable Bluetooth (doesn't matter if connected to a Bluetooth device or not), the WiFi throughput drops drastically. The connection speed in the WiFi Status window (network and sharing center -> WiFi connection) is still stated as 48 or 54 MBit/s, but the throughput shrinks to nothing.

I attached a screenshot from Windows 10 Task Manager (Performance Tab) where I enabled Bluetooth for a few seconds.

This problem occurs in six different WLANs where I tested this so far, so I guess I can exclude the router from trouble-shooting.

 

Driver version is 18.21.0.2, but I also tried several older drivers, including the one provided by ASUS, without noticing a difference.

 

I should also note that it might got worse with the update from Windows 8.1 to 10, but I didn't use Bluetooth much before the update, so I'm not entirely sure.

 

Do you guys have any idea how to solve this issue? Or should I buy a random Bluetooth USB adapter, to prevent more grey hair?
