For ROUVY to run correctly, we recommend an internet connection with a bandwidth of 20 Mbps or higher, with a ping 20-50 ms.
Please, also make sure that your trainer setup has a strong signal from your router! Especially if you have your trainer in a garage, basement or attic!
Weak signal can can be solved by installing a Wi-Fi signal amplifier or Wi-Fi range extender near your trainer setup.
How to Check Your Connection Speed
You can test your connection speed by going to www.SPEEDTEST.net.
Click the button "GO" and wait for the results of calculations:
Connection Speed is Below the Recommended Limit
If you find that your internet connection speed is below our recommendations, or you have a higher ping, try the following:
- Check if your trainer setup has a strong enough signal from the router first.
- Try restarting your router first.
- If you run ROUVY on your computer, try restarting your computer.
- Try connecting a LAN cable straight from your computer to your modem.
- Your connection can be blocked by your proxy or VPN. Try turning them off:
for Windows, go to Settings -> Network & Internet -> choose the VPN you want to disable and disconnect/ disable it;
for MAC: go to System Preferences -> Network -> choose the VPN you want to disable and disconnect/ disable it;
for mobile phones: search for VPN in your mobile phone settings and disconnect/ disable it. - If nothing else works and your speed is still low, try contacting your internet service provider as they can resolve the issue on their side.

Your hardware (router, modem) can also be protected by a firewall.
If possible, have your router checked to see if it allows standard HTTPS (port 443) for outgoing traffic and all incoming and outgoing UDP (User Datagram Protocol) traffic on port 14325 (for a route GROUP RIDE and online RACES).
