If you are connecting to airport extreme by ethernet it means that you are not using wi-fi (for the purposes of setup)
Get your miner IP address using iNet (few bucks in Apple store) or some free program-it will be described as Paragon (??) in iNET.
Miner should be ON (PSU ON)
On a laptop (with wi-fi OFF), either connect ethernet cable between laptop and miner OR use the thunderbolt-to-ethernet adapter to connect ethernet cable to (on macbook air).
In system preferences, set the thunderbolt IP as "manual"
then enter the following
IP address: 192.168.1.254
mask 255.255.255.0
router 192.168.1.1
DNS 192.168.1.1
<Apply>
go to chrome window
enter 192.168.1.99 <return>
you should be in gui
passwd: root <return>
you should be in miner setup
go to Network, then WAN (do not touch LAN!!!): edit
in WAN:
enter whatever IP address you got from iNet (or any IP address NOT used by other devices on your local network; if your local network is 192.168.1.X, then use something like 192.168.1.201-(basically last number should be away from the typical range)-write down this IP address!!! (if you forget, you will not be able to reconnect and will have to reset the miner
netmask: 255.255.255.0
getaway: put in whatever IP address your Extreme/router has (you can see it in iNet or in Airport utilities)
broadcast: leave empty (remove whatever is there)
custom DNS: same as Extreme/router (yes, you will have the same IP in getaway and DNS-it is OK)
<save and apply>
you will see the "wheel" turning
wait 20-30 sec, close browser window, disconnect ethernet from laptop and reconnect to the Extreme/router (PSU is still ON), ethernet is still connected to miner.
power cycle the miner (PSU OFF, wait 10-20 sec, turn PSU back ON)
go to browser (turn laptop wi-fi back ON), input the new IP address of the miner into the browser window, hit return
in gui-go to configuration-set up your pools-<save and apply.
mining should commence
happy hashing
Got my antminer S1 running, but cannot figure out how to access it so I can attach it to my router via WiFi.
I have a DHCP provided IP. Tried to change many things, let me ask for help before giving specifics.
I have an Apple airport router and surface pro 2 client.
I plugged the S1 into the Ethernet port. If I can access the machine I am sure I can configure.
Thanks in advance.
You can setup multiple S1 like this:
Buy Airport express (I know, there is some additional expense), expand your network (it's pretty easy on express setup)
If you have just one ant, connect it to express via Ethernet cable-and it's done
If you have more than 1 miner-connect TP-link gigabit or 10/100 ethernet hub (8 slots) to express via short (1ft) ethernet cable, then connect multiple miners to Tp-link-each by ethernet cable.
The whole setup is WiFi because express does NOT have to be in the same room as the Airport.
I had 3 S1 and one S2 connected like this and everything worked just fine
I have airport extreme and connected the S1 to the Ethernet on the airport. So how do I see the S1? I doesn't just show up as I expected? I think I am missing something are you saying I need an upgrade? thanks
