I’ve just dig out an old, cheap “Anself” Ant+ dongle. It was £9 on eBay 5+ years ago. Long and short, it doesn’t seem to work with Windows 11. I’ve tried the TR drivers and the Wahoo drivers, and while the device is recognised it still has an ! In device manager and neither TR or Zwift can see it.
I figure I’ll just buy another, there’s some £9.99 ones if you Google and I’m wondering if they’ll work with Windows 11 or do I need a bigger brand name one?
I have 2 bikes with perfectly working Ant+ only power meters on them. Why wouldn’t someone in a similar situation also not use an ant+ dongle in 2024, or even 2025 in a few days?
I bought both an ant+ and Bluetooth dongle but I prefer ant (although my dongle broke) because it’s just so much faster to connect (almost instant vs a couple of minutes) and you don’t need to worry about other devices making a connection too
Was just joking…I switched from running TR and Zwift on a windows laptop to an ipad using BT connections years ago, I had actually forgotten about the little dongles but I probably have a few in a drawer somewhere.
