Mining is dramatically slowing down internet - any ideas why?

[master92]

Greetings, brothers, I would like to ask you for a little help, for some reason that I do not know the internet of my house falls when my machine starts to mine, the machine has a dedicated internet, so I do not understand why when the internet from my house it drops, if I turn it off, go back to the moment, even connect the modem and the router in different plugs of the house, thinking that it was due to the proximity of the miner to the router and modem, but still falling on the internet someone has gone through this? a possible solution? can it be some kind of interference? Thanks in advance!

Is your ISP throttling mining?

I do not know, the miner uses a separate wireless internet service, but when he starts to mine the internet from my house (the one that arrives via telephone) he falls when the machine starts to mine, I thought it was something electrical and I connected the router and modem in different plugs of the house, still in the same, so I discard that it is something electric, it is an s4 antminer, I do not know if it is generating some kind of interference, is it possible?

Are you sure its just traffic that your mining software generates and not something else?

The only device connected to the wireless internet service is the miner, the other devices are connected through the internet that arrives via telephone, but this one falls when the machine starts to mine, although this one has a separate internet.

If the miner is getting a poor signal, the excessive retries could be loading down the AP. If you have a separate AP for your mining setup, make sure it's on a different channel.

Excuse my ignorance but what is AP?

Graphics card and CPU are needed for mining. Could be your router cannot handle the stress of work that you put on it so I suggest testing the speed of your internet to see if that is the problem. You can also use task manager to close all the apps that use internet that u don't need to speed up the network in your house.

Access point, which is a generic term that includes wireless routers and extenders as well as dedicated APs. Read up on how to properly set up channels with wireless hardware.

I changed the modem and apparently that was the problem, my old modem had 7 years of use (they were not in vain, I think it was never turned off lol) and everything works perfectly, thanks for your interest and suggestions brothers, grateful heart .

Hi! I think what you have to do is to update your major computer parts, especially those used for mining in order to not hamper your internet connections. There may be some instances whereby a lag in the internet is due to the slowness of your computer's CPU for that matter. So I guess you would have to verify how much energy consumption your mining takes in whilst using your computer.

Hi there,
I would suggest you to open up Task Manager to monitor network traffic before vs. during mining to see if there is any abnormal traffic. Also look at running processes for any suspicious ones. Maybe your computer is infected with virus, trojans... install latest virus protection tool and scan.
