Frequent Ant+ connection drops with indoor trainer

Former Member over 6 years ago

I have a Tacx vortex and since the most recent FW update my speed/cadence and power sensors drop ALL the time during an activity. It is insane how poor quality this is. Anyone else experiencing these dropouts with in indoor trainer?

I see the same thing on my Edge 530 and Tacx Neo.
The Zwift to Strava file is ok, however the same ride recorded on the 530 has intermittent drops, I see them live on the device as well. It always seems…

Yes. I know I'm 5 months late to the show, but did you ever get a resolution to this? I have a wahoo kickr 2018 and my last few rides have been abysmal.

I'm also experiencing a lot of drops en Edge830, on trainerroad the powermeter, HR, and cadence shows stready, everything to a garmin ant+ antenna.

Some generic advice here from the good folks over at TrainerRoad:

and the same here from Eric at Zwiftinsider:

Common issues are around WiFi sharing the same channel as ANT+ and not using extension leads.

Hello good Morning,

I had already changed the channels of the router to not interfere with the data, and on the street did the same yesterday, less but the same problem.

I have the same issue with my Edge 530 on a Wahoo Kickr Snap... signal drops every 15-25 seconds. Really impacting my total distance, average speed, and a host of other things.

I have the Edge mounted on a K-Edge out front mount, part of me thinks that maybe the signal is being blocked by my body and handlebars etc
