Regarding tip 4, if restricted to 2.4GHz WiFi it is probably best to stick to either channel 1 or 6 to prevent channel overlap which can significantly affect WiFi performance.

Connect your devices via Bluetooth instead of ANT+ if they support it, it’s much more stable.
Also, if you can, have your windows profile on an SSD instead of hard disk and definitely don’t map your documents folder to a USB drive. Zwift streams data to your documents folder. If the IO is slow or you run out of space it’s the end of the ride.

Thanks for posting this one, Eric!

I posted a similar doc in the Coaltion’s help channel, and it is out and around with other folks, but the video Mike made really helps a lot.

Mike has great Systems and RF Engineering chops. GREAT resource!
