overall I've found Ant+ to very reliable within Zwift. obviously you need a good strong signal to reduce chances of dropout

That is true. Bathroom what is my suffer cave is probably bit challenging when problems occure. Most of a time i had no problem, for example yesterday all worked perfectly. Still wondering why it worked with Bkool Sim but not with Zwift. Hope it was something temporary.

Good work from Carl, well done . Today i had a problems with Zwift and Drivo 2. Ant+ signal find devices but resistance unit didn't want to work. With Bkool Sim it worked well but with Zwift take's some time when it finally start to react. It was mystery to me what was the issue. I have heard that Drivo trainers have BLE resistance issues, seems like some ANT+ issues might occure as well.

Only ever used Ant+ and pretty much never had any issues, but then I don't tend to have anything else running so little chance of signal conflicts.

Well done Carl

Ant + for me and pretty much rock solid. I have been unwell since I returned from Alps and so have not ridden but set the turbo up yesterday and paired in IOS over BT rather than pc via ant +. No issues with signal nor resistances it must be really frustrating for those of you with issues in IOS.

I just send all Zwift logs to Zwift support, i hope they can find something what i didn't get it. Might be conflict too with some other app, anything is possible with computers. Ant+ is been rock solid, probably a user error when we talkin about me .

I have just had a reply from Zwift support regarding the proble I have with Bluetooth and resistance

Hi Chris,

Thanks for contacting Zwift!

I'm sorry to hear that you're having problems with resistance dropouts or disconnects on your Kickr Core in Zwift.

Some Zwift members are experiencing resistance issues on their Kickr type smart trainers when pairing via bluetooth (BLE). It appears that you've encountered this game bug.

Some users have tried these steps and claim it works (but they have to do it each time):

1. Power off (unplug) KICKR, leave unplugged for 30 seconds, then turn it back on.
2. Launch Wahoo Fitness app and connect KICKR.
3. Run KICKR on Wahoo Fitness app.
4. Check if SIM mode is enabled. If not, enable it. This article explains the different modes on your trainer.
5. Disconnect KICKR from Wahoo Fitness app, but leave plugged in/on.
6. Launch Zwift and pair KICKR within the game.
7. Try a ride and let me know if that helps.

I have just tried this and it stay connected when I click to ride ,just got to try it tomorrow and do a ride

I need to check network settings just in case. If routers etc. work same frequency as Ant+ stick. Need to change channels if need to.

To me it looked like you took it on the line. Were you able to see my messages?. I was trying the Zwift app for the first time

I'd thought you had been a little quiet. When's your Knee op?

Yes, I could see your messages, but was working too hard to respond (sorry).

I was trying to break the group up but no one would come with me which was a bit annoying. No way I could out run a group of 7 over the last 10 km. i tried 4 times. I thought the rider Hoyle might come with me, or Twiggy, but I guess none of them fancied working too hard!

Anyone got plans of racing next week ?

Zwift customer support reply my email concerning my ant+ signal issue. They check Zwift log files and noticed EMP electromagnetic interference. Now i know what i can check out if problems continue. It could be fan next to me or freeze what is not very far. Could be something else too. Yesterday was also tv signal problems from the aerial antenna. Electricity in the air i guess???
