Magic Mouse 2 keeps disconnecting and reconnecting

This has been driving me nuts for months. It will disconnect and reconnect 10 times per day with no reason. I bought another one. Same deal. New Mac Mini, same issue.

Mac mini, macOS 10.13

I *think it's my router - I have a WiFi hotspot above me on the roof on 2.4ghz and it doesn't transmit on 5ghz.

My next thing to test is to turn it off and use a 5ghz router only for a day or so to test.

Other than that I'm running out of things to turn off!

My issue I think is that I mount my Mac mini behind my monitor and for some reason its causing interference. If I move my Magic Mouse 2 closer I do not have the problems. I use a small computer desk with a slide out keyboard and mouse drawer. Apparently its enough of a conflict with signal to cause disruptions between mouse and Mac mini.
