Hi, I have been accepted into the beta program and trying to get set up. I have spent some time reading the support section and forums and am still not clear on what I need to ride with my Wahoo Kickr. ie What I need to get it set up. I know it is supported. Can I run Zwift with my Wahoo app on my phone? Or do I need to get a USB dongle for my computer? If I need a USB donagle, which exact one do I need? I have a MacBooKPro. Just want to make sure I get the right stuff if I need anything. Looking forward to riding. Brandon ---

You need ANT+ dongle for your kickr to communicate with your computer. USB extension cord is recommended so that you can place your ANT+ dongle as close to your Kickr as possible to minimize loss of signal. ---

Thanks for the information. Do you have a recommendation on brand? I looked on Amazon and do not see a generic one. Will the Garmin one on Amazon work? Thanks Brandon ---

I’m using this one: [http://www.digikey.com/product-search/en?mpart=ANTUSB-M&vendor=1094](http://www.digikey.com/product-search/en?mpart=ANTUSB-M&vendor=1094) and it works well for me. I had a Suunto movestick mini before, but had quite a few dropouts, so would not recommend that one. ---

I’ve written a basic user manual and introduction to Zwift on [www.titaniumgeek.com](http://www.titaniumgeek.com) that should cover most of the points to get you started hopefully ---

Anyone in the Toronto Ontario / GTA area looking for an ANT+ Stick that works great with Mac / Windows / Android (with OTG cable), I have provided the link below.  The price is far cheaper then the big name brands, and it works just as well if not better…for half the price.
