Title: Antminer S7 drops hash rate
Post by: madq42 on July 29, 2016, 08:51:48 AM
Hello

Bit new to this and so... Here goes.

Bought Antminer S7, was working great after little time setting up etc. Ran pefectly over the weekend and was hashing around 4.7-5THS. Great, my router needed changing so I splashed out on an TD-W9980 TP-Link router and although the Antminer is still able to connect (DHCP enabled) the hash rate is so very low. I have tried forwarding ports as read in another post (8333 & 18333) No joy. The miner was beeping constantly until I restarted and changed some router settings but still very low hash rate.

Please, any advice would be very welcome.

Cheers
Iain

Seems like the miner has trouble connecting to your pool.
Where are you checking the hashrate? Directly on the pool or on the miner web interface?

Do you have trouble with your other devices (internet wise) connected to the router?

Please update to latest firmware and reboot it. If problem insist please check on your network cable, exchange it with a new 1 and see how it goes. I advise u to buy a switch port and separate your miner with your router, a mini switch port with 5 to 8 ports will do and it depends on how many miners u have and not need to buy an expensive switch port and the cheapest 1 will do.
