Title: Antminer L3+ is sporadically going on and offline.
Post by: NathanEHarvey on August 18, 2019, 05:17:36 AM
I have my miner connected to a tplink wifi extender.
The wifi extender is getting warm, but I am still able to visit the website via the tp link's ip address and it seems to be up and running.
The miner has the usual lights flashing, but will occasionally slow down the fan speed briefly before returning to normal.
My antminer miner status is usually blank, but occasionally looks normal. Same for the output showing on my litecoinpool.
The main oddity I've noticed is that under the system overview tab on the antminer site, it says "Hardware Version   Socket connect failed: Connection refused"
I obviously googled this, but it seems to be all over the map, with most people saying they had their miner configuration wrong or just needed to reboot.
I did try rebooting, but my problem seems to be different than anything else I've come across so far.
Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I little miners I have in my office closet, and now the L3+ is working?!
I have them saved as different workers, and hadn't changed any settings.
I'm baffled.

Now everything seems to be up and running without me having really changed anything at all.  :o
This is a weird world we're living in.  ::)
