Do you need the USB Ant+ (like I use currently with my 610) to connect or is that eliminated by the wireless capability?

In addition to connecting wirelessly via WiFi, you can also connect to your smartphone via Blutooth and upload activities to Garmin Connect that way as well. Another cool feature using Bluetooth is the Live Tracking feature where your friends/family can follow you in real-time on the web as your device uploads data via your smart phone. Either way, you don't need the USB Ant+ dongle anymore.

I thought it was not supposed to be necessary, but I have needed to put in on its charger and plug in the USB to get it to upload the data. I love the watch, though! It gives me so much information!

You can connect through the wire/ charger included or set up the watch for wireless connectivity

The device flawlessly connects thru WiFi. It syncs with just a press of the button. Amazing!

not sure on the specific bike you are using, I have not had any issue with connecting to other ANT+ devices at this time.

There is an Ethernet connection socket on the back. It isn't wireless (it's a desktop unit). Having said that, I bought/installed a USB wireless network adapter on the 2 units bought due to difficulties in running cable.

Short answer - don't know. There is nothing in the documentation to indicate you can. The USB port seems to be only for extending the drive space. I would say it is not intended to be connected to a computer via USB connection. Mine is connected via the wireless network and it works fine.

I use a Belkin wireless router (cheap and good) to connect to the Internet, and then connect my desktop directly to it and an iPod Touch and a Laptop using wireless. No additional wireless adapter is needed.

This computer does in fact have a 3.0 USB port. Is it hooked up to the motherboard? Yes. If it wasn't I'm sure my Wireless Network Adapter would not have worked.

It has a tiny little USB plug. I am assuming that is standard wireless? no computer guru here... :)

Yo, the laptop w/widi is its own transmitter. The non widi laptops require the USB transmitter, but it needs to meet the system requirements .

You DO NOT need a wireless connection unless you can not connect directly with an Ethernet cable. It has an Ethernet port and is wireless WI-FI.I am using it wireless via DSL and a wireless router.If you get a wireless router get the fastest 1 gigabit.ASUS makes a good one available on AMAZON. With a wireless router you can use it for your wireless printer/scanner Smart phone and visiting lap tops or your own. I would connect directly to the Ethernet port if I had a wire available or could easily run one. The devise works great and the quality with HDMI is very good.

With my Net Book w/windows XP I did not use the disk. I plugged the wireless into the usb and the computer recognized it and installed the software.

I'm using on Windows 8.1, you have to swap the USB connection to get the Bluetooth wireless, follow this link for instruction.http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/dbw-ac7260/sb/CS-034606.htm?wapkw=intel%c2%ae+dual+band+wireless-ac+7260

Do you have the wireless adapter for the PC? It should recognize it once the drivers are installed.

No, this wireless card issue has not been addressed in the version of the computer that I have. I have my computer one floor and several walls from the router and the internal wireless just doesn't have enough power to supply what I need. I have instead put a USB wireless N adapter on. That has served me well so far and the USB adapter isn't expensive. I will say that other than the wireless thing, I am very satisfied with this computer. It has a lot of power for the money.

Hmmm...I have the Air so I have (and did install) the R3 update to that. I don't know that I want to chance bricking the R1, so I'm back to trying a bridge. There's no USB port for the WLAN access point, so I don't know of any other way to bring the signal to the box.Thanks very much for your response.

unfortunately no, but I understand you can get a wireless adapter and configure it through the USB port.

Yes u need a wireless adapter, either built in or added. The Valet Connector, their version of a wireless adapter, (bought separately from Valet) can be used on any PC. Just plug it into the USB slot and leave it.
