I’m getting a lot of dropouts lately on my Elite Avanti (MacBook Air and Apple TV). Watt goes away for about 5 seconds before it comes back. I do not get any messages on screen.

I think I might have found a fix for all the Bluetooth-dropouts. When I turned off wifi on the computer and used my iPhone as a hotspot through USB-C things were very stable.

I have also dropouts/disconnects every few minutes. Just bought the avanti and I am really annoyed as it’s unrideable with the Virtual shifting disappearing. I use the companion app and even with the iPhone 10cm away from the trainer I have these issues. Had a Tacx Neo 2 and a Wahoo Kickr Core with …

Can you pair via wifi? Or is it just Bluetooth that gives you dropout issues?

Pairing via WiFi currently defeats virtual shifting with all Elite trainers.

I don’t have one but that’s discussed in this thread from @_Ned_ZSUNR [image] BLE Dropouts with Elite Justo 2 + Zwift Ride Smart Frame Bugs and Support Hi everyone, I’m experiencing persistent Bluetooth dropouts between my Elite Justo 2 trainer (firmware v36)…

Yes wifi works fine but it does not support the virtual shifting.

Just received a new electric board and now the BLE connection works like it should. So the hardware was faulty.
