Title: Networking - wifi / ethernet
Post by: bdog1234 on August 25, 2017, 08:42:36 AM
I currently have an Avalon 741 and two GPU rigs on order. I am in the process of setting up the room they are going to be located in. From what I gather these miners want to be plugged into Ethernet and don't use wifi. Our broadband connection and wifi router are on the opposite side of the house.

What are my best options? Should I run an Ethernet cable through the attic to a switch in the mining room or is there some sort of switch that I can put in the mining room that will connect to the wifi and provide Ethernet ports to the miners?

If there is no possibility to run an Ethernet cable to the mining room, you could try a powerline Ethernet solution.
This method uses your existing electrical wiring for communication.

You can find products in Newegg for example.
