Title: [PROBLEM] Antminer / WiFi - Cant ping , nor access it. Post by: MichelG on March 14, 2014, 08:36:57 PM Hi ! I have an issue with my FIRST S1 and I am a little bit lost, as I don't understand why it does not work.
The S1 gets its IP through the WiFi router which is located at home, and the S1 is in a cooler place , the garage. => IP 192.168.1.101 The fixed IP of the S1 on the LAN segment with RJ-45 connector is IP 192.168.1.99 La plage IP du routeur est dans le segment 192.168.1.X/24 donc pas de problèmes. If I connect the cable between the routeur and the S1 (RJ-45), the pings on .99 and .101 are getting a reply, and work perfectly. I can acces to the configuration page on both IPs. If I disconnect the cable, no way to get a reply from the pings done on .99 or .101 ... And of course, no way to acces the configuration page. The S1 is minng fine (test phase)... BUT I need to use the WiFi and having the option to access its configuration through a navigator. Thanks for help and suggestions.

Post by: Isuearl on March 16, 2014, 07:48:55 PM All I can say about this subject, is that you really want to go through a hardwire. Otherwise your error rate is going to be extremely high, plus you will lose hashing power due to packet loss between the Wifi access point and your mining controller....
Also check your wifi router to ensure that the IP's are in the range for the router, Some Wifi points only go up to certain IPs unless you tell them otherwise... not to mention some are not even defaulted to 19x.xxx.x.x for example Apples airport series are defaulted to 10.xx.x.x so you might want to check that first.

Post by: googlemaster1 on March 16, 2014, 10:51:46 PM What you should consider doing instead is getting an old router from a PC recycle place. You can find WRT54G v5/6/7's almost EVERYWHERE. They flood the market.
Setting up the wifi on the antminers can be troublesome, and I have found, lowers your hashrate... I don't know why exactly, but when I configured an old WRT54g as a Repeater Bridge and then joined it to my main network, and then just plugged my antminer hardware into it, I didn't lose ANY hashrate whatsoever. If you would like help in doing this once you buy a WRT54G let me know. I was able to pick up 2-3 of these routers for $5-7 USD each. Title: Re: [PROBLEM] Antminer / WiFi - Cant ping , nor access it.
