How to upgrade TPLINK TL-MR3020 firmware to technobit openwrt

[mstrongbow]

I thought that just need some info on what port connects where, anyone have this please.

I'd imagine that the miner will plug into the standard USB ports and ethernet into the LAN, power into the mini USB.
Not many other choices really from what I can tell.

[sorehammer]

but in the image a page back it shows the following.

router
switch
tp-link
hub
miner

so how lol

just saw the image...pretty self explanatory but I will help ya out...

Plug your MINER (or USB hub) into the TP-Link unit USB port (standard A-not mini)
Plug the TP-Link unit into your switch (if no switch, straight into router) via LAN
Plug a MINI USB into the TP-Link unit for power

Ok I give up this makes no sense today maybe tomorrow

i now see my error I need another usb hub, was using the one I have which is allready connected to my pc lol

Zich,
This difficulty which i can use in the settings of several miners, what is it exactly for?
i understand the difficulty of a mining pool, but when i look at it, this looks like its an another kind of diffuculty.

am i right here?

I guess the asic had the capability to filter the accepted nonce before send it to pool. This is similar to A1 asic.
This feature will reduce amount of data sent to pool.
But wrong setting on nonce timeout will make cgminer reset the asic. You will loose hash if it's reset every times 0 nonces return.
So you need to see how long the nonce return to pool each time.

I've set my nonce timeout to 5sec on my hex4m and it's running sound. It was 2sec default and it just kept resetting the damn chips.

Super duper 2 secs is at the edge for 400gh so if you are down clocking you should increase it also
How is your pool graph by the way does it match with cgminer speed stats
I guess yes correct 

[sorehammer]

I'm seeing around 450ghs on the cgminer and 430ish on the pool so I'm happy

Good the difference should be not so big. What is your reject rate?
And cgminer avarge spread. Do you have some shares leaking to your backup pool if you are using any?

[sorehammer]

have a reject rate of 0.33% I think that's not too bad but I may be wrong.

[loshia]

Reject is fine but your pool stats shall match exactly to cgminer avarage speed minus rejects
Do you have backup pool?
Can you check if this pool is accepting shares also?

[sorehammer]

no back up pool pool says 446 and my avg is 430

[loshia]

no back up pool pool says 446 and my avg is 430

That is good then 
First time I misunderstood you
It is just a luck that pool is above cgminer stats sometimes it may be opposite but avarage will always match to cgminer stats

[sorehammer]

I'm happy I had 240ghs in x1's after the conversion i'm getting 430ghs so may make some roi after all the delays

HELP! Did something dumb.

Logged into TP-Link MR3020 via web page and set Network to from static to DHCP and now I cannot see it on any IP address.

DHCP server is enabled on the Internet router but it don't show up on the network.

I pressed the flashing reset button on boot-up but it didn't seem to reset OpenWRT to 192.168.1.1

Any ideas? Thanks.

Download ethereal wire shark
Install it
Plug tplink in your PC LAN directly
Fire sniffer wire shark
Power up tplink
And it will tell you what is going on
The flashing reset button is biggest one try it one more time
If you did it it will blink like traffic light
And make sure to adjust your LAN settings Also when you are trying to reach 192.168.1.1
There is open telnet on 192.168.1.1 nothing more no web
You have to login and type a bunch of commands
Please Read openwrt fail safe procedure first
Ps: I am glad to hear fro you gator even though the occasion is not so good. I thought you've quit mining

Okay fired up wireshark

It seems to be broadcasting 169.254.85.24

so I set my laptop to DCHP client and it picked up the address

Code:

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
   Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::150c:a7b3:cc9e:5518%10
   Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address. . : 169.254.85.24
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :

I definatly told the TP-Link/OpenWRT to use a DHCP client, not become a DHCP server!

I'm still none the wiser how to communicate with the thing 255.255.0.0 is a lot of possible addresses.

Does it matter what mode the switch is in? It's in the middle setting WISP.

You laptop did not picked address at all
There is no dhcp server to give address to your laptop
You do not have a gateway right besides openwrt Technobit build does not have dhcp server build in at all  
Just use wire shark
According to windows rules there is no such thing as de configured state in order words when there is dhcp server to give you agrees windows picks one
Or,just set your laptop to 192.168.1.12/24
Ping 192.168.1.1 -t from dos
And try with reset button
When you do it you will see replies,from 1.1 tplinkk

I set the laptop to 192.168.1.10 255.255.255.0
Wireshark is recording the LAN
No other IP addresses show up in wireshark.
No response from pinging 192.168.1.1

When I try to do the reset thing when the light blinks on the TP-Link it doesn't blink faster afterwards.

also tried 192.168.0.10 255.255.255.0
No response from 192.168.0.99

which is where it original was after installing Technobits OpenWRT.
