Are you getting a lot of stale shares? What freq and pool are you using?

I am using 22 and 25 for each TP-link on version B at 850. They run great for a few hours and then start spewing 30% stale shares on wafflepool.

New firmware : https://www.dropbox.com/s/cetsoqgn2t5ail3/LAG3355_12-RC10c.bin
Changes: also works with standard Tp-link 703N. slightly faster hashing (0-5kh/s/miner). Miner logs are viewable now. Fixed some pools, multipool.us and wemineall.com are still broken.
EDIT: Upgrading currently works.

Still no luck updating the new firmware with the LightningASIC TP-links. Is this the correct standard TP-link, http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-Portable-Nano-TP-LINK-TL-WR703N-150Mbps-WiFi-for-iPhone4-Wireless-Router-88-/221325209638?pt=US_USB_Wi_Fi_Adapters_Dongles&hash=item338802b026?

Sorry, I forgot to edit the guide, steps to install the firmware on 703N are in the OP now.

Looks like the page is still down. Oh well...

But it was up for a brief moment...

Upgrading works now!

So how do I update from the RC10 to RC10c firmware? I tried by uploading the RC10c directly, and by uploading the V2 bin first, but I get the 'Firmware with name LAxxxRCc.bin not found' message all the time.

Try now, it should work.

Now I'm getting "Failed to unpack firmware" when I do the RC10c, and "MD5 differs" when I do the V2?

One controller worked and updated to C. The other is failing to unpack as well. I tried re-downing file too. I ordered a new TPlink with 64MB RAM, so I can just use one controller.

Will charts work with 50 miners on a 703N TPlink?

Try re-downloading the V2 bin.

They should work, but it might affect performance a bit.

"Failed to unpack firmware" with the V2 now.

I updated to the first version of v3 and haven't been able to apply any of the updates since.

I just tried upgrade v1 and upgrade v2 and the rc10c. All of them give me the "failed to unpack".

Changes: also works with standard Tp-link 703N.

that is awesome!
could you please build a version for the MR3020 too?

they are basically the same hardware, just a bit different gpio map,
and different vendor string, what prevents straight cross-flashing

my reason is, that MR3020 can be bought at local stores in europe
while all the 703N here ship from China or snail-mail from Frankfurt



besides, did you hear of the GL.iNet? www.amazon.com/dp/B00F3TS3U2
it's like the same router but with stock 16MB Flash and 64MB RAM
there is a OpenWRT patch avaiable on their page as well

I just tried upgrading from v1 and v2 and it works perfectly fine, so not sure why it does that.

Still get: Failed to unpack firmware on both V1 units (upgraded to 3)

The original V3 is even buggier than the old V1 and firmware, those at least hash all at some point until they need rebooting (within 60m), with V3 i get maybe 4 units hashing, then 2, etc.

Both the b and c versions "Failed to unpack firmware"

I am already on v3. But I want to upgrade to rc10c. I keep getting failed to unpack with all three bins provided in main post.

Yep, exactly the same here.

Well I have no clue why it works for some, but not for you guys, I'm sorry.   Feel free to send them my way if you want me to flash the V3c.

I updated to V3 from V1 yesterday with no problems. Its a little glitchy, so I tried to update to V3b and that wouldn't work because I assume the site was down.

Today (5-4-14) I am trying to upgrade to V3c and all I get is "Failed To Unpack Software"

I have tried fresh downloads of V2 bin, cleared browser cache, using chrome, reset controller etc etc....No Joy.

Is it because the site is down still?

No it is up... upgrading works (but some get Unpack error).

Ok I just did an upgrade without first installing the "V2 bin"

I simply clicked on update firmware and chose "LAG3355_12-RC10c.bin" and clicked "upload"

That worked like a treat.......
