Zwift ANT+ USB chips/dongles
Moderator: Moderator Team
Any recommendations for a suitable ANT+ dongle to work with Zwift and my Garmin Edge sensors? Don't really want to shell out for the Garmin one if I can help it. There are a ton on Amazon but I've learned not to trust unknown electronics!

Few of my friends ordered from Far East on eBay. They all look super happy with them except one.
His envelope was empty
but seller send him a new one. All works flawlessly.
I ordered from the same seller today, and can write my own review when it arrives

I understand the need for an ANT+ USB Antenna for Zwift, but curious what function you have in mind for the Garmin Edge 500 that requires a ANT+ USB Antenna? Although the Garmin Edge 520 already includes the ANT+ FE-C protocol allowing for control of ANT+ Smart trainers, this is not the case for the Edge 500/510/800 series computers.

I think what I was trying to say is I need an ANT+ dongle that will work with my Edge 500 sensors. Either way, that's what I meant, thanks for point it out.
