Hi!
I recently started running on zwift and i enjoy it a lot! My current setup is a galaxy tab s6 lite and a zwift runpod. However, my issue is that 80% of the time i try to connect my tablet to the pod, zwift does not find the pod. I have tried countless things, changed the battery about three times, but no luck. I came to terms with the fact, that i probably cheaped out with my setup.
The Runpod also does not connect reliably to my phone (Pixel 7a). Just for the sake of it, i tried to use zwift on my Macbook (M2 Air) and what do you know, it works instantly without any issues. Because i do not own a treadmill and therefore have to go to the gym to use zwift, the macbook is not really an option for me.
Now for my question:
Which part of my setup do i need to upgrade? Tablet? Footpod? Both?
I have seen a lot of people having success with the stryd pod, but i dont feel like spending 200$ just to find out that this wasnt the issue. I also realize, that the samsung tablet is a bit underpowered and zwift is better supported on iPadOS.
Has anyone had a similar experience and could guide me into the right direction?
Thank you!
