Right - not a huge deal here but I’d like to have everything working.
To entice us all back to the office, my noble employer has made a nice fitness center with 3 Stages bikes. I have a little iPad Mini (the most recent one) to run Zwift, and that works great connecting through my employee login on wifi. However, the companion app on my phone (a Pixel 6), connecting through the same wifi network, doesn’t recognize that I’m riding, and so doesn’t show a map or controls.
I haven’t tried the same setup at home with my kickr 18, as I have a dedicated PC and TV for that getup. That works fine with the companion app.
Any ideas? A security setting in the iPad? Something locked by our IT team?
Update: confirmed that it’s the ports and the IT folk won’t open them up. More interestingly the guy who responded to my request was a Zwifter so I didn’t get a dumb canned response!
It’s possible you might be able to use the Pixel as a WiFi hotspot (using its cellular data connection) and have the iPad connect to the Pixel hotspot. I’m pretty sure that does not work in the reverse scenario (using an Apple device as the hotspot) but I’ve heard that it may work using the Android device as the hotspot. I have not tried this.
