When setting it up VIA wifi, I just have to type the IP of the ant miner in my browers to connect? Or do I have to do it like a router and connect via hardwire?
Depends if you're close or far from the router. I personally connect the Ant through ethernet cable direct to the router, punch in the default ip 192.168.1.99 into a browser, and voila I'm in the Antminer config.
If you're unable to connect via wireless or wired, search the forum for "Antminer setup". There's step by step by Dogie and Sushi which should be helpful.
