Are you using BT or ANT+? Are you on the latest updates on all devices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I also need to turn off the Wifi on my phone, as the reception for my computer is not ideal where I am set-up currently. (I previously had a 50m LAN cable installed to ensure a rock-solid connection, but mice/rats got to my cable and I had to fall back to Wifi, which seems to give problems every once in a while, especially when trying to stream music while riding) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could happen that after 10 or 15mins of not touching your keyboard/mouse while pedaling it goes into a kind of sleep mode maybe?

Testing with a LAN cable will bypass this. Ant+ may be another work around .... if it is a BT issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i use a mac, its perfect? Any ideas?I'm sure by default, you're using the Zwift icon on your desktop to load Zwift- this is usually a shortcut to the ZwiftLauncher.exe file. Try launch Zwift using the ZwiftApp.exe file. It's usually found here:Your PC -> Windows © -> Program Files (x86) -> Zwift If this works, I'd delete the current icon on your desktop and replace it with the ZwiftApp.exe one Tornado tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try turning that off as it may interfere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ct_rider Posted February 11, 2021 Share I also run a kickr core and Dell laptop, had the same issues with Wifi. Since I started using a LAN cable, no issues. Zwift even loads immediately, as it previously took sometimes between 10-25 minutes with the WIFI to load to the pairing screen.
