Zwift (Milestone) Footpod Issues (Treadmill Runs)
Quote | Reply
After some experimentation, it appears that fans (regular pain cave fans) cause the bluetooth signal to drop. This is not a sustainable situation for me.

Proof? A fan's emf field shouldn't be that powerful that it interferes with the bluetooth radio on the footpod.

It’s in zwift’s support section and I guess my further proof is that my connection drops at the moment I turn my fans on.

How close is this fan to the device controlling Zwift? Does your HR monitor or anything else drop out?

Maybe 8 to 10 feet away from the AppleTV, maybe 3 feet away from the treadmill (and footpod)

That's a really noisy fan then in terms of EMC. I wouldn't expect the magnetic field to be that strong that far away.

I’ll totally buy a new fan if anyone has a suggestion about a more compatible one

I have this one in front of my treadmill and only a couple of feet away from an AppleTV and PC (both used for Zwift). Never have any dropouts with bluetooth or ANT+. Plenty of air (even on a lower setting) and relatively quiet.

Thanks I’ll give it a shot! I have been using a couple industrial Lasko fans and maybe changing them out will help. [posts lasko fans in classifieds section]
