Wahoo Kickr Core 2 with Zwift

I believe that you can remove the Cog and install an 11 speed cassette.

Okay thanks, I called my LBS and they have the cassette I need. I’ll try that.

You'll need it to run Zwift on a computer.

I found this from a Ring support channel. It describes how to set up the 2.4GHz radio in the ATT Air.

1. Using your phone take a photo of the sticker on the back of your Att Air Router to easily reference the info you will need, then open your browser on a computer.
2. Using the info from the sticker, in the search bar type in the router IP address. It starts with: http:// Your browser may get upset and say you are about to enter an unsafe website, ignore that and continue to the IP address website.
3. There should be a darker blue bar across the top of the page. Click on “Home Network”.
4. Then click on “Wi-Fi”
5. Using the info from the sticker, type in the “Device Access Code”.
6. At the end of the first section titled “Wi-Fi”, Look for “Advanced Options” and click on it.
7. Go to “2.4 GHz Wi-Fi Radio Configuration”, find “Wi-Fi Operation”. If it is turned off, turn it on.
8. Then go down to “Channel”. The Following info is copied & pasted directly from the Ring Support Site: “Change your wifi channel to 1, 6, or 11. These are usually the least crowded channels. If your router is already broadcasting on channel 1, 6, or 11, change the channel to one of the others.” Change the channel as directed.
9. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click “Save”.
10. Wait about 5 min for your Wi-Fi to adjust the new settings. It will disconnect from all of your already connected devices and then automatically reconnect after a few minutes.
11. Now when you try to connect to a Ring device (or in my case a Wi-Fi enabled pool pump as well), your Wi-Fi network should show up!
12. Hope this helps & Good Luck!

If I do this process, will it add the 2.4 ghz that I need to my 5g ? I don’t want to disconnect from 5g, I just want to add to 2.4 somehow.
I have 7 devices around the house that are all connected to the 5g and I don’t want to mess those up. It was a nightmare getting everything updated and connected when I changed over to the new ATT Air router.

I think you said that the 5GHz light was on, but the 2.4GHz light was off on your gateway. If so, this should turn it on and your Kickr should find your SSID.

There are a couple of ways to enable 2.4GHz on a router. You can enable it for your existing SSID, in which case a client may connect on either band, but you may not be able to control at which band the client connects. This could result in slower WiFi performance for some clients. Or you could enable 2.4GHz on a separate SSID like MySSID-2.4.

There is a feature called band steering where an AP may attempt to force a device that supports both 2.4 and 5 GHz to use 5GHz, but the feature can sometimes cause 2.4GHz only devices to fail to connect. So it is recommended to disable that if you have a mixed environment. 5GHz has a shorter range and less ability to propagate through walls and stuff. So sometimes the 2.4GHz signal will be stronger and a client will prefer it.

FWIW, I am using a six year old laptop right now. I have both bands enabled and my laptop reliably connects at 5GHz.
