I just wanted to thank everyone for the responses.  I did email Bitmain, and they told me that none of their products support WIFI and that WIFI can not be added.  Lol.  But, I'll probably buy an S5 and use one of the above methods.  I realize that WIFI might not be the optimal setup for mining, but for my situation, it's necessary.  I don't mind spending some extra money to add the capability, but I just wanted to make sure that it was possible.  Thank you all for your help!

Thanks Philipma1957, that was pretty much exactly what I was looking for.  I just wanted to know if WIFI capability could be added to the standalone miners.

I don't pay for electricity, and while I can't take advantage of that to any extreme degree or my landlord would yell, I figured running something like an S5 would be a good way to passively generate some extra income.  Every little bit helps!

Thanks for the help!

Antminer S3 and S1 are both WIFI. They both can be finicky but adding an external antennae usually sorts them out.
I wouldn't vouch for going for a WIFI miner though, and that bitmain decided to drop it for their (now EOL'd) flagship S5 is telling.

Thanks, I looked at the S3+, but it said it was Ethernet as well.   Do you happened to have a link to someplace I can buy the S3 that comes with WiFi?

I share internet with my neighbor and do not have physical access to the router, so I need WIFI.


I'm not sure why they would drop it from their product line, as it's always better having more options, especially with a standalone unit.

I was looking at the Antminer S5 and emailed the company, but they told me that it only supports an ethernet connection.

I am trying to find a standalone miner that can use WiFi.  Preferably something comparable to the Antminer S5, but I'm open to all suggestions and would really appreciate any info you can provide.
