Most newer dongles will be 2.0 since 1.0 is no longer in production. USB 1.0 dongles will only work with the Legacy (Adobe AIR) application. Note that if you're going to use a Wahoo KICKR with the Legacy app, you will still need a USB 2.0 dongle. If you are unsure which you have, check the info on the back of the stick.
