Problems with ANT+ USB Stick Detection
If TrainerRoad can't find your ANT+ USB Stick we have a troubleshooting article to help you get going.
ANT+ USB Stick Troubleshooting
WiFi Signal Interference
ANT+ and Bluetooth both operate on 2.4 ghz and can be affected by WiFi routers, microwaves and other bluetooth devices.
If you're having pairing/drop out issues it's best to eliminate these variables and then bring them back one at a time. If you find that a WiFi router is interfering, read our WiFi troubleshooting article.
Other problems
If you are still experiencing problems please check out our device dropout article.
Device Dropout Troubleshooting
Sensor Battery
When a device battery gets low, the reception gets worse. Try replacing the device battery. Some devices report their battery condition over ANT+ and we display that on the Devices page. But it is not a universal feature, and speed/cadence sensors can't report it due to a protocol limitation.
If your head unit picks up the signal, but TrainerRoad does not, try moving your bike setup closer to your ANT+ USB stick. Sometimes a couple feet can make a big difference.
