Title: Bitminer At Ramada Hotel Longterm Post by: frizzfreeling on April 15, 2014, 09:00:31 PM I am buying a BITMAIN AntMiner S1 High Gain Wi-Fi Wireless Antenna 6 foot cord and hooking it up, hoping to tap into the hotel wireless where I now reside. Has anyone done this before, and How did you do it? The front desk is no help at all. You talk about routers and IP addresses, and their faces go blank, so there is absolutely no help there. I am at a Ramada long term and need to get 4 units going asap without any info whatsoever from the hotel. If you give me directions that work, You will recieve .1btc in your wallet and then a further .1btc after a month of continuous operation. Thx in advance.

Title: Re: Bitminer At Ramada Hotel Longterm Post by: frizzfreeling on April 15, 2014, 11:30:04 PM The information I have given is all that is available. As I said, it is worth .2BTC over the next month and I know there is someone here with the answer. Its too common for there not to be. The hotel owner is never here and he's the only one. The hotel wifi is open without a code.

Title: Re: Bitminer At Ramada Hotel Longterm Post by: trout on April 16, 2014, 03:14:35 AM buy a router. connect it to your laptop/computer and connect your ants to it.
Setup a bridge on your laptop and connect it to the hotel internet. setup an alarm on your laptop when the connection goes down - hotel internet is really unreliable- the fancier the hotel chain the shittier the internet (don't ask me why). Alternatively, get a cheap mobile data plan and a mobile and setup an independent connection. I bet you can get that for under 0.2 BTC Title: Re: Bitminer At Ramada Hotel Longterm Post by: 2112 on April 16, 2014, 04:00:08 AM I don't have information specific to Ramada, but a general understanding of Internet in the hospitality industry.
Their internet hookups are specifically designed to disallow the use like yours: by an unattended device. This is an important hotel safety issue. You have the following options: 1) Setup your laptop to do Internet Connection Sharing (like in Windows). There has to be some sort of interaction from the laptop every once in a while, some sort of viewing the hotel ads, accepting some sort of the agreement, logging in using some room-specific information, etc. This happens at least once per day, but I've seen it as often as every 2 hours. 2) Upgrade your room hookup to a higher level, called "professional", "enterprise", "VPN" or something similar. Expect significant upcharge in the daily room rate, unless you are under some sort of "premium", "executive", etc. frequent stayer plan. 3) Forget hotel hookup altogether and use a mobile telephony internet connection access point. |
