Garmin Edge 1000
Quote | Reply
So, my Garmin 810 flew off my bike last week, no idea how that happened, I had the K-Edge thingy, and it seemed pretty tight. The ring part that is on the handlebar stayed on. Anyway, pretty sure I was not going to find it on the highway, and was told that the 810 had been discontinued? so, purchased the 1000. I would have been ok with the 510, and it's a bit bigger than the 500, but I have poor eyesight, and having 5 items on the screen, I wouldn't be able to see them.

I like the 1000 so far, though it's really big, looks like a phone on my bars, but the wi-fi is not working. Doesn't even see my WiFi network. I have not seen much online about this, though I did see this issue mentioned with other Garmin devices that supposedly support Wi-Fi.

Anyone else experience this? My network is an Apple Time Capsule.

I find that sensor and GPS access are VERY FAST

The 810 is not discontinued. Actually, it just got a permanent price reduction of $100 down to $399. I'm guessing that whoever sold you that lie also was selling the $600 Edge 1000?

Now that you have had your 1000 a while what do you think?

As for your wifi. Do you have your wifi network hidden? Nest products have a problem with finding hidden networks, just something to consider.

Loving the 1000, among the favourite is how quick it gets the GPS signal and the sensors. I don't think my WiFI is hidden as all my other devices find it. Haven't needed it enough to make a strong effort to resolve it.

I also have one since June - haven't had the wifi issue though. I love the bigger screen - seems very strange going back to the smaller 510 on the tribike. My main issue with it - is due to its size it doesn't fit on too many bikes (it is very long). It would be great if Garmin came out with some more mounting options.

I don't know about the 1000 but with the 620 you need to connect it to your PC and use the desktop app to configure the WiFi (enter the key).
