My Garmin Edge 1030 keeps dropping the signal when connected to my TACX NEO 2 trainer!

Yup. Same here raised the issue with Garmin oved a month ago. Still no fix on the horizon. Suggest you also do the same the more people raising the issue the better the chance of it getting fixed 

Thanks for your reply. I will wait for a final solution then... What I heard is that Garmin purchased the TACX company, so hope they can fix this issue soon.

I have the same issue with my 830. I think it began with the update a couple of months ago.

There is a video about some remedies you can try. One is chaging the 2.4ghz Wifi broadcast to Channels 1, 2 or 3 and make sure it is not on anything 9 or above (9 - 13). 5ghz Wifi is not affected by this.

The link to the video of GPLama: https://youtu.be/H1WvBJbyJHM 

Hope it helps.

What has Wifi to do with ANT+ problems?

Radio interference if the WiFi channel in use is too close to the ANT+ spectrum when using 2.4 GHz. This can cause lost data packages.

Ok, thanks!

And sorry - should have watched the linked video first...

Thanks for the tip & the link. I wish the fix was that simple. My 2.4 GHz WiFi is on Channel 1. I even tried disabling it completely & still getting regular Power & Cadence dropouts though Speed is totally fine. When I say regular I mean apart from a few occasions the dropouts occur at around 3m40s intervals

I don't get any dropouts on my Fenix 6 (ANT+ sensors), Edge 800 (ANT+ sensors) or on the Tacx Android App (BT Sensors). The only difference is that the Edge 1030 has a trainer sensor pairing to my Neo2T for FE-C control as I do my own ERG workouts & don't rely on Zwift etc. to control the trainer.

Below is today's trainer ride with Beta F/W 9.25. Half way though the workout the Edge totally lost the Neo2T connection & I had to stop the timer, power cycle the Edge & Re-pair it again.

After that because I'd rebooted the Edge my workout got screwed up & the Edge wouldn't advance to the next workout step when the step timer completed & I had to press the lap key to get it to advance at least when it did advance the Edge did set the Neo to the correct target power

This is my experience as well. My nearly 4 year old F3HR never drops ANT+ connection to 2T, but the Edge loses connection every 3-4 minutes for about 10 seconds.
