Eric, over at Zwift Insider has written a great article on how to solve this problem. Also, interference from microwaves can create problems. That means that sometimes the use of frequencies overlaps. The ANT+ signal runs on the same wireless frequency as Bluetooth and wireless routers.

Most households today are full of devices that can create wireless interference. Sometimes the Bluetooth on your PC can interfere with the connection, and it helps to turn it off. If that is the case, please turn off the bike computer (or similar device), restart the devices that cannot be found, and try to connect with Open Road again. So if you are connecting to your devices with your bike computer (or similar devices) using Bluetooth, sometimes Open Road will not be able to connect to the same devices. Some devices can only handle communication with Bluetooth or ANT+. Open Road can only connect to your devices using the ANT+ wireless protocol, not Bluetooth. If ‘Open Road’ can find it, chances are very high that there is a problem with your trainer’s ANT+ connectivity. If ‘Open Road’ cannot connect to your smart trainer, please try to pair it with another ANT+ device. The latest firmware often contains bug fixes, that often solve the problem you are experiencing. Make sure your device is updated with the latest firmware. If you have one of those, please make sure that it has been activated when you are paring. Some trainers run on the power generated by the rider. Most trainers have an LED light which shows that ANT+ is ready to communicate. Please make sure all ANT+ devices are activated, have a working battery, and are turned on.

Some ANT+ USB stick needs a driver to work. So please make sure that no other sports-related apps are running and connecting to your ANT+ devices. Other indoor cycling apps such as Zwift or TrainerRoad will ‘hijack’ the ANT+ stick as soon as they are started. This is a common issue that is a problem for all indoor cycling apps, including our friends over at TrainerRoad ( troubleshooting link ). You can also check the Task Manager to make sure no other sports-related apps are running. You’ll find them in the Windows system tray (lower right corner) where you can turn them off.
Once they detect an ANT+ USB stick, they will ‘hijack’ it immediately. These programs start up with Windows and run in the background all the time. If you are using devices from the Garmin ecosystem, you most likely have Garmin Connect/express installed. Other apps are ‘hijacking’ the ANT+ USB stick You can read more in the following article: Using Open Road with another app such as Xert, Trainerroad, or Zwift. But you’ll need to have one ANT+ USB2 stick for each app.
Some members want to combine Open Road with other apps. By placing the ANT+ USB stick close to your ANT+ devices, you avoid drop-outs and connection problems. We, and most other training software vendors, always suggest using a USB extending cable, so your USB2 dongle can get closer to the trainer. If your devices and the ANT+ USB2 stick are located too far from each other, the signal will become too weak. In the following, we have enumerated the most common problems and how to fix them. Most often, connectivity problems are caused by external factors such as weak signals, low battery, or interference from other wireless units. Our experience is that it is very rare the connectivity problem is caused by ‘Open Road’.
