I’m looking for suggestions. I had always connected my trainer with ant+ but laptop went nuts. I tried to connect via bluetooth with my Ipad but it won’t find the trainer. It connects using an android phone.

Hey Ronald, try making sure that your trainer is not connected to another BlueTooth device before starting Zwift. My understanding is that BT can only connect to one device so it could be that something else has grabbed your trainer BT before Zwift.

Bob you were exactly right. Thank you very much. I should have figured that one out.
