Title: Mixed TV Router problem logon S9
Post by: PointHope on May 07, 2018, 06:37:31 PM
I'm getting my internet through a cable tv service.. (the service guys used #4 port for the wifi router)
The router has 4 ports.
#4 port is the only port useable to logon and configure the S9, with my laptop on port #1.
Once configured my two S9's seem to hash happily on ports 2&3. (Wifi also works from ports 2&3)
On a couple of occasions I was able to logon and monitor temps/hash with my android via the wifi, but not consistent.

To monitor the miners consistently I gotta have is plugged into #4 port and with my laptop..

I can monitor the hash of the miners from the kano mining pool, so I know the miners are working.

Is there a router configuration which could fix this?
Do I need another router?
Why can I at rare times reach the miners with the android device through the wifi?

Confused...Well at least I got the miners working for me now!

Also I'm in Thailand and they have floating IP's.
I noticed the IP addrsses for the miners change when I turn them on and off or plug into different a port on the router.

I'm new at this, btw!

Hey PointHope,

It's kind of hard to say exactly without more details on your network configuration, but my best guess is your wifi/wired networks are on different subnets.

If you can log into your router and take a look at the DHCP server configuration, confirm that both the LAN and Wifi address pools are set to the same subnet (example: 192.168.1.0/24)

Also, maybe give us some more information on your router? Brand, Model, etc..

Hi, Thanks for the reply.

This is starting to be kinda over my head tech-wise, but here goes.
I took some screenshots of both router insides.

Try putting your Wifi router in "Bridge" mode, not "Routed" mode if you can. If you can do that, all of your devices will be on the same subnet.

So your LAN (Wired) is on 192.168.2.0/24  with a DHCP range of 192.168.2.33-64

Check the wireless 2.4/5ghz tabs on the left to see if the network range matches.
