Wifi cuts out during YouTube

I just did an update to 4.4.2. A few nights ago, I was playing a YT video when the Wifi disconnected. I turned it off and on, and it connected again. Played YT, and within 3-4 minutes, it was out again. Now I recently started using a new BT headset and replaced my Beats wired headset. Could that have anything to do with it (using BT and Wifi as the same time?).

I brought it into work today and was doing browsing. No problem for 15 minutes. Then I played a YT clip and again, the wifi cut out. So now, I know that it's not my network that is the problem. It's somewhere in the tablet. I need to figure out if:

1. If the new updates actually did anything. I had no issues before
2. Is is the new BT headset that could be contributing. At work, I browsed without issues. But as soon as I played a YT video, it would cut out within minutes.
3. Is it something with YT itself that's causing this?

Any suggestions?
 
Bluetooth has been known to interfere with wi-fi, and vice-versa. I know someone whose Bluetooth connection to his car cuts out when his wi-fi radio remains on. If you're able to connect to a 5 GHz wi-fi signal, try that--you'd need a router that broadcasts on the 5 GHz band.
 
I did confirm it was the BT headset that I just got. Been using my wired headset for days w/o this problem. Then as soon as I connect to my BT headset, it disconnects within minutes.

SO when using a BT headset, your wifi will disconnect. Who tested this thing? They can't be that stupid.
