No more drops

While it doesn't connect to my wireless modem as advertised, it does work flawlessly connected directly to my laptop. Only have three stars due to connection issues with wireless modem

Set up as easy just

Set up as easy just click it in, Run a cable from your router to the link and go. The power: As long as the Internet strength by your cable provider is good it will keep you from lagging however, I still get glitches every once in a while. I’m not sure that it’s worth the money I spent. Solution: Wahoo, you need to just provide a Wi-Fi link in the unit. Get rid of the kicker direct Connect.

The Way Life Should Be

Connection... Boom, just like that (MK 🎸fan🙂). Daily Zwifter who does not desire missing a 🥁 beat (…..EVER... well unless intended). It eases the pain for all the Zwift shortcomings.

Must-have: who wants Ant+/LBE if there is DirCom

We always deal with some level of "Latency" in any network; but Ant+ / BLE really sucks at it. Wahoo Direct Connect is the best innovation in indoor cycling since smart trainers... Note: for me was a painless connectivity via router on a dedicated high end PC.

Yay! No more dropouts

Works as designed. No more Bluetooth dropouts. Only wish this device was originally built into the trainer instead of having to buy an add on device. Makes me wonder if this a profit making scheme or a design that came too late for the Kickr V.5 release. The RJ11 telephone style jack should have been RJ45 network port to begin with. Had to buy a a network cable separately and cover it to make sure it doesn’t get stepped or tripped on. I also had to update my Kickr firmware and change settings in the Wahoo App (Race Mode). I tried plugging Direct Connect adapter directly to my laptop and then my router and both seemed to work ok although I did have have to change my Zwift Power Source (wired vs WIFI network port). I also had an issue with my laptop recognizing my WIFI after I unplugged the Direct Connect adapter. Those issues are resolved now. Noticed a slightly more responsive power (Watts) after I enabled “Race Mode” in the Wahoo App settings. There’s not much instructions so it’s best to go the Shane Miller’s YouTube video to get all the instructions, setup details, performance demonstration and troubleshooting help.

Direct connect works fine, no

Direct connect works fine, no drop outs, got the network cable plugged directly into my Mac Mini. Race mode on Zwift is a game changer for racing, it’s great!
