Mouse stops responding when video streams/heavy downloading

[HotL3@D]

Man, been a long time since i've been on here...

Anyway, I recently got tired of the crappy wireless apple mouse and decided to pick up a logitech mouse that was more comfortable to use. I picked up a Logitech wireless mouse that operates wirelessly through a USB adaptor. I also have an AT&T DSL modem located directly under my Macbook Pro and under my multi port USB where the mouse adaptor is plugged in. The MBP is connected to the internet via wifi from that modem. Pretty much every time I do any heavy downloading, or video streaming my mouse stops responding as well. It becomes very choppy/unresponsive and doesn't respond when you click it. Otherwise, when I'm not downloading something or streaming a video its fine. I think theres some connection between the wifi signal and the mouse signal, but I cant figure out how to fix the problem. I've never experienced this before. Any help?

Can you confirm if this happens on a wired only connection too?

I'm not sure, I guess I could try, but I dont think it will.

From what I know, the Logitech mouse uses the same crowded 2.4GHz spectrum as bluetooth and 802.11B/G/N.

Try plugging the computer into the modem via ethernet and disable wireless. See if it happens then.

*edit*

Or I guess you could try this:

Of course your going to have problems! You have everything clustered together. If you didn't have the problem with the Apple wireless bluetooth mouse than you need to get another bluetooth mouse.

Here are some:

Hard drive access bottleneck, freezes up the entire systems in xp, try adding a 2nd hdd and balancing stress loads.
