But Ive had a huge problem with its companion app andImnotalone but Ive finally found a fix!
So here I am to share it with you.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
After doing this, it should display the special workout screens automatically.
Ive been following this, but I still experience problems where my phone wont pick up my Zwift ride.
Tips to fixZwift companion app
First things first, get to know your WiFi connection.
So lets go a little deeper.
Take note of the channels that are particularly busy, and the ones that are less congested.
Do this for all the bandwidths your router supports, for me it was 2.4ghz and 5ghz.
Log into your router and access its options.
Most likely, the router will be set to automatically select a channel and bandwidth.
This whole situation could be significantly tidier and optimized.
Start by ensuring that your router actually separates the 2.4ghz and 5ghz bandwidths into two distinct networks.
In my case, this was as simple as changing the name of one of the networks.
I added 5ghz to the SSID of the 5ghz web connection and rebooted the router.
Immediately, my laptop now identified two different networks when scanning for nearby WiFi connections.
Log back into your router, and go to the prefs for the 2.4ghz web link.
Perform the same process for the 5ghz internet to ensure its also operating on an uncontested frequency.
Now for testing
Fire up Zwift, connect your trainer, and select a ride.
As you get pedaling, pop pop the Zwift companion app on your phone.
As mentioned, you cant force the app to scan for activity, so sometimes it takes a while.
But if it still isnt working though, its time todive into Zwifts more complicated and comprehensive troubleshooting tips.
