Abstract: A device includes a serial interface, such as Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface, having two operating modes. The first operating mode has a higher data transfer rate than the second operating mode, but also causes greater interference affecting use of a wireless network. To prevent loss of connectivity from the wireless network, when a detected signal strength associated with the wireless network is less than a threshold value, the interface is switched from the first operating mode to the second operating mode to reduce interference to use of the wireless network. During times when detected signal strength for the wireless network is high, the interface is switched to the first operating mode to allow for higher data transfer rates.
