After hours trying out different settings on the router, and only at one occasion with bluetooth enabled have I managed to get a decent download speed on the M10. My conclusion, after doing some further reading, is that the Bq Aquaris M10 is what you would call a "poorly designed" device, such that it is not able to find a good enough channel for wifi when it competes with bluetooth in the 2.4 GHz band. The tplink router with the latest firmware has 13 different channels to chose from, and I have tried more than half of them with different combinations of b/g/n or mixed. Unfortunately the M10 wifi stays at about 0.1 MB/s unless I turn bluetooth off and then immediately reach about 30 times that speed.

After upgrading the router to ddwrt firmware the issue appears to be resolved for now, but I don't take it for granted until I have connected more times with bluetooth enabled. Still believe it is an issue with the M10 though, as it was the only out of 6 different Ubuntu, UT, Win7 and IOS devices having any problems at all with wifi on the original tp-link router firmware.

I'll report back.
