Hi,
I recently got an Antminer S3. I have it connected by cable to a wireless access point which is again connected wireless to my router. When I power it up, it mines fine. But after a random few hours it stops mining. By this I mean it suddenly gets 0GH/s on the "Miner Status" screen and all shares are discarded. The fans are still running and the web-interface is accessible.
I have done some troubleshooting and this is what I got so far: -The only way I have found to start mining correctly again is turning the PSU off and on again. -Rebooting from the S3 menus, restarting the wireless access point, or removing/inserting the LAN-cable does not help. Also, if I do any of this while it is mining correctly, it stops mining as described above and I have to restart the PSU to get it mining again. -I have tried both static IP and DHCP in WAN settngs. Makes no difference.
Any ideas? I suspect that the problem is triggered by the wireless access point losing the wifi-connection for a short moment (just my speculations), but I have no idea why the S3 is not able to start mining again when the connection is back.
