Hi All,
I am not sure if this is breaking forum rules or not, but here is my struggle.

Canaan keeps removing my service request ticket for support, because there are too many 'novices' sucking up their time.

I am a novice, I am stupid, call me whatever you want to call me, but I have been unable to get my Avalon 741 system set up. (coincidentally, I have an S7 and S9 working just fine, so kudos to Bitmain for enabling stupid people to use their equipment)

Anyone who would like to assist me, I am happy to pay for their services.

Here's what I have done:

I have followed the steps on Canaan's website of plugging everything properly and getting the appropriate colored lights.

I bought a raspberry pi 3 and have downloaded the appropriate firmware onto it using Canaan's instructions.

I have never operated a raspberry pi before and am not familiar with the openwrt system.

I connected the raspberry pi 3 to the avalon 741 miner. I tried to change my laptop's IP address to a static one per the instructions. However, that is as far as I get. When I type in the stated IP address into the browser to connect, I get a server timed out or some other rejection.

I don't know if I am supposed to connect the raspberry pi 3 via wifi to the router or not, it is plugged directly into the router using the ethernet cable. If I need to connect via wifi, I don't know how to do that.

These are the instructions I have been trying to follow:

So any help, free or paid would be very welcome.

Thanks in Advance!
