# How to download High Speed Data (ANT)

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you are having trouble downloading files (e.g. downloads seem to stop before being finished), it is most likely due to interference from a nearby WiFi router. Consider disconnecting power to the WiFi router or moving the USB ANT stick far away from the source of interference.
