Mining on WiFi

[Tidsdilatation]

Why would one "HAVE" to use Wifi? Cables can be hidden, its more reliable and cheaper. I cannot see why one would have to use wifi. The only thing would be cable abstruction, but that can be solved with small holes in walls. Or that CAT6 cables should not go above 90m in length, but WIFI is not better at that either.

I have a whole farm running from a USB wifi adapter
 

I'm also running USB wifi adapters and they work great no problems, easy when you don´t have to put cables =).

Why would one "HAVE" to use Wifi?

Because your internet modem is in the middle of your living room (plugged into a coaxial connection, your former "cable") and you don't want to see a cable running from there to your basement.

How are you going to see it?  Go right through the floor near the modem into the basement.  If you're worried about seeing the cable in the basement, buy some sort of cable management solution that can be mounted to the wall and painted the same color as the wall.  Any hardware store sells them.

I'm not drilling through my hard floor :-D

Let me guess.  Your cable company ran their wires through your window? Lol.

I feel I've given enough details, keeping in mind the question was "How to get a rig to work on WiFi", not "How to reorganize my house"

Just like you would any other computer.  Why in the fuck would think it would be any different?

please i need more light on how to mine

Yours isn't LED?  They are a lot brighter than the old style ones, you fucktard.

I use a wifi and haven't had issues.   Main thing if you have multiple computers to to make sure you have a high quality switch, not a network hub...a real switch.  Don't put hubs, they will have more collisions.

I have been mining on Wi-fi two weeks and have zero issues.  If you connection is stable with a good provider there is no reason you HAVE to do a wired connection.  A USB adapter works just fine.

TP-LINK

Good stable provider is a given.  You certainly need that.  That's going to go down even if you are hardwired.  If the internet connection isn't there, it makes no difference.  Please use good hardware (wifi router, extender, adapters) if you are going to use wifi.  And take into consideration the distance between the router and the wifi adapter. 

I have good internet provider with 100 Mb/s speed.
Only one problem - invisible adapter. I solved reinstall driver on this device.
And rig 24/7 working:)

mining using wifi it's a good idea because of its stable connection speed, rarely experiencing interference, free access and its price is cheaper than a data sim card Pack.

[Amstellodamois]

How much data do you consume?
Say for an average six card rig.

[zoufou]

All my rigs are running on wifi with a dedicated router and network for them, this is cheaper and cleaner than managing cables and switches.

Free access?  You're still paying for your internet connection whether you use wifi or not.  What are you doing? Loading up your mining rigs up in the back of your truck and parking it at McDonalds for the free wifi? Lol.  I'm surprised they let you run an extension cord in the back door to power them.

Can't get much cleaner than this ... And nope, I'm not running them on wifi.

I think WIFI is not good for mining. Somehow when I turn on the mining, it seems to cause some problem with the WIFI signal. It's very unstable and internet is on and off and all the shares found is gone to waste. Maybe it depends upon the brand of wifi adapter but I don't recommend it.
