Review on 🚴 Enhance Your Bike Trainer Experience: USB ANT+ Stick Dongle Adapter with 3 Meters Extension Cable for Zwift, TheSufferfest, TrainerRoad, Rouvy by Kenny Hrdlicka

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Keeps disconnecting from my devices

Edit: I kept searching the internet to see if anyone had a solution to my problem. It turns out there are two different control methods on Wahoo ergometers. The first method is the direct Kickr log. The second method is the ANT-FEC protocol. The direct protocol is generally supposed to be "better", which is why I chose this method. I was able to find a small note in a Zwift Community post about the first method causing reset issues and the second method should be used instead. I switched to the second method and my reset problems are completely gone. I am changing my rating to 4 stars. I'll also leave my first review below in case anyone else finds it relevant. First Feedback: To be honest I can't guarantee that the problem is with the adapter but the data definitely suggests it. When I'm just monitoring devices, this seems to work great. But when I tell my computer to start controlling my exercise bike, the adapter disconnects from my computer. Sometimes it works for 30 seconds and then turns off. I've tried every port on my computer and even connected it to a powered external hub. Same behavior. As far as I can tell, the attempt to transfer fails and my computer gets disconnected.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
