Title: Miner won't connect to pool
Post by: cessnas on January 01, 2015, 01:31:40 PM
Hello,
I have just purchased two Antminers from Ebay. I have them both connected up to the router via an Wi-Fi extender. I have one of them connected to a pool and mining. I'm using Slush's pool. But when i have done the exact same thing with the other one, it wont connect to the pool for some strange reason.
Thanks!

Probably broken, just write an email to antminer and return the broken piece.

What model are they?  Have you contacted seller to make sure they have not had problems?

I would check networking make sure have a different IP set for each.   Also if you can try wired to just see what happens with getting rid of some things in between.

They are the S3 moddel. The seller said when he shipped them to me that both worked. I tried to connect the one that's not working directly to the Wi-Fi Extender with no luck. My setup right now is this: S3 and S3 => Network switch => Wi-Fi Extender => Wierless to Router.
Is this OK? Is it normal that i have connected it with Ethernett to the Wi-Fi extender and in the config it says that it now uses WAN instead of LAN? They have different IP's yes.
Thanks!

Have you tried connecting them directly to your switch or router via ethernet? Also make sure there are no firewalls blocking outgoing connections.

Cannot say if that setup is ok or not without seeing a lot more.   Lots of different settings with wi-fi extender.  Try both via wire to router and see if work at same time.  If they do work then look at wifi extender if not working look more at the devices.
