miners running wirelessly in an outbuilding?

[swoop_ds]

Just wondering if it's possible to run a miner (notably an sp20) remotely in an outbuilding with wifi access to my router?  How would this be done?

[bgibso01]

yes it works.  Use an access point and plug it into a hub.  Plug sp20 into hub. As long as you have power in the outbuilding and strong enough signal from wireless, you are good to go.  I've had 8 s-1 units running that way last year.

would a 150mbps access point be enough? And I can't just plug the miner into the access point, I need a hub too?

I was doing it in 2011. You need a wireless access point.

I've done this as well in my detached garage, just get a wireless extender and hook it up to a cheap switch in your outbuilding then use the network ports on your switch to connect to the miners.  Its mindlessly simple to achieve.

and just hook the sp20 into it?

Almost all routers can be turned into an access point.  Example: https://blogs.oracle.com/simonthorpe/entry/configuring_a_dlink_dir_655_as

Also I think you can buy a simple USB dongle to connect the SP20 to your wifi. Check that first if you only plan to connect 1 SP20.

I run a powerline adapter from inside my garage to the house.  Works like a charm.  The plug you use should not have a switch or be spliced or be part of other chains. 

modem->router->Powerline Adapter->Garage->powerline adapter->48port switch->miner

+1 different brands, but same results
