Title: Router IP address at home Post by: Johninthai on September 01, 2017, 09:15:02 AM Hi guys,
End of the month I will be receiving my S9's L3+ and D3 antminers. Been reading up on how to set them up, seems pretty straightforward just wondering about my own IP address of my router at home. My latency is not the best so I contacted my IP provider and they said then they can offer me a static IP for my router and pull the fiber optic cable straight to my house at extra cost. However since each miner gets his own IP is that still possible if my home router has a static IP ? Do I even need a static IP - will that really solve the latency issue ? Thanks for any info regarding this issue. Title: Re: Router IP address at home Post by: VRobb on September 01, 2017, 12:17:30 PM No need for all that. Just set your router up DHCP as most of us do and you'll be fine. If you increase your mining to dozens of units or more then maybe upgrades would be needed!

Thanks for the info. Will get the fiber optic cable but will not get a static IP. Title: Re: Router IP address at home Post by: reflector on September 01, 2017, 10:34:47 PM No need for all that.

Simply when system connects the any network that it automatically discovers the broadcast message for dynamic IP for the concern PC but for a dhcp server it will be remain with the static IP alone. Nearly 4 to 8 connects as now but when you increase the number miners in the one router which has low data transmission you need to upgrade it.
