Reliable ANT+ communication in Zwift

MacBook Pro and go! Windows 10 desktop and go! I got Zwifting up and running in minutes without doing anything but plugging it in, logging into Zwift, and giving a spin or two to wake up the sensors. I bought a USB extension cable and attached it to the struts next to the ANT+ cadence/speed sensor (optional) using the velcro cable holder. So far there have been no failures in over 100 miles of Zwifting. Zwift logged continuous input from all sensors, including heart rate, with no issues. I haven't tried it remotely by plugging the stick directly into the computer to test the range. But I doubt I'll have any problems because if I get off the bike and sit at the computer it's still taking my heart rate when back on the bike so it's actually the same distance, about 9 feet. I even left the room and came back and when I came back it was still recording my heart rate. I didn't have to re-fetch the data. It just works.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Hard to say
