If you move this here:

Or that area, you'll likely get more help.

There isn't much traffic doing out of a miner.
Maybe the switch is the problem? Have you tried to connect one miner directly into the router?
Are your miners even configured to connect to a pool?

If your losing internet on both your S3's and laptop sounds like network issue.   The miners use very little as far as network resources.  I would look into router to see why it's dropping internet on devices connected.

Likely you will need to contact Verizon and tell them about the losing of internet.   As we really can't help much on a Verizon router.

thanks notlist3d that helped i believe it was the network that was the issue and the router.

Not a problem I enjoy helping out when I can.  Glad to hear it was not the miner and you got it up and running!

If you have a router/modem combo then I've heard those can be quite restrictive and just outright bad for managing a lot of connections, even though miners really do not use very much of the network at all.

All depends on what one you get, in this case it was not a problem of restriction but of losing connection.  Some combo's supposedly are very nice if you get gigabit internet it takes a decent modem/router to handle it.

In my case it was very restrictive on combo though.  It stopped some ports I used at one time when using sites that I could allow people to rent my hash, also part of my security system.  What I did and others can to is call you dls/cable company and tell them of problems and say you want a passthrough mode on modem.  If they are a good ISP they will work with you and you can use your own Router.

That is what I did and ended up getting a blackhawk router which has done pretty darn well overall.   So I'm happy with my gigabit internet on my own modem.  But did take ISP to enable passthrough to allow this.
