So if you have wifi configured right, what happens when you restart the miner? Unplug or turn off the power supply, wait a moment, and then turn it back on.

If it won't connect after that. Make sure you scan for your network, and add it from there.

tied that. Ip that miner supposed to be on its dead. cant connect

When you log into the router, can you see logs of what's happening with the connection attempt?

Is the router set up to give the miner a static address or dhcp one? And if so, is the miner set up to receive the same?

Router logs would be a way to quickly answer this, if your router has them.

Maybe it's a routing problem, e.g. drop the eth connection and drop the route.

Good afternoon , I have a Antminer s3 that was working very well , suddenly the red and green LEDs will be lit and remain blinking off and on again do not catch me the LEDs and the fans turn at maximum Revolution , entered the setup will install firmware and nothing occurred to me to put the control board to another s3 and actually this bad the control board , entered the setup but do not read me the asic and does not start the minefield , my question is there a way to fix it and if not where could get to buy thanks

Put the "bad" controller board in a miner, fire up while holding the reset button for a full 90 seconds, then shutdown, wait almost a minute perhaps and fire up.  Then tell us how you did.

Wifi is set as wwan.
tried dhcp and static. as soon I unplug cable wifi ip disappears.


Active IPv4-Routes
Network   Target   IPv4-Gateway   Metric
wwan            0.0.0.0/0   192.168.1.1    0
wan            192.168.1.0/24   0.0.0.0   0
wwan         192.168.1.0/24   0.0.0.0   0


Do I need to bridge it somehow in settings? (bridge interfaces) ?

Just so we are all sure, your router is sitting on 192.168.1.1 ?

Maybe post a screenshot of your main Status -> Overview page
Also try logging into the the miner via SSH and type 'route' then press enter. Copy and paste what it shows.

Well, when you have them both up try pinging both, then after disconnecting the one, ping the other.

You ARE giving them different addresses, yes?

Nothing i did that already and I had no positive results, continue the fans to the maximum and i can't see the ASIC

Just like what happened to one of my S3+ boards although the other is hashing at 227.49GH/s.  I haven't yet found a solution.

If you could put an oscilloscope on pin 13 of either ribbon cable....

The problem is, you are setting the miner to use a static IP 192.168.1.100, however your wifi is assigning it 192.168.1.5

In order to use a static address, it needs to be set up in the router. Just change the miner to not use a static address and things should be fine.

You are the MAN!!
Had to restart it tho after that working. thanks sooo much:)

@no141,

Thanks for helping others!

s3 what place have thermal paste ? get me image

[ToQcHista]

i think my s3 ghs because is low that thermo paste isn't have enough and show me one X.

No, I don't think that's the case.  The static option should be set on the miner.  The DHCP assigned addresses should be cleared from the router and allowed to be reassigned.  Typically 50 or 100 addresses are reserved by the router starting at 192.168.1.100 to be used/assigned to devices using DHCP.  I highly doubt the _router_ is assigning the .5 address.  The user would have had to go into the router and change the block of addresses from which the router assigns addresses.

That said, going DHCP worked.

It depends on the router.  I had one that started at .25 on addresses it did go to .75 in dhcp.  It was a odd router though that came through cable company.

I was able to get the router part turned off of cable modem, and use my own routers.  I have one Linksys and one Asus that are working great.   And static IP on miners are normally set at miner.  Just set it high on dhcp or above dhcp IP's.

With cooling season approaching, I need to increase the efficiency of my S3+s or turn them off. I've seen sporadic discussions on best firmware to upgrade to, how to undervoltage, etc., with differing results.

Is there a thread on increasing S3+ efficiency and a "proven best" method out here?

It's not hard to test yourself with a watt meter at the wall. For every frequency wait until the fans are at the normal rate, then record the wattage at the wall and the work utility number on the miner. A simple calculation will show you what frequency provides the best use of watts to hashes. Doing it yourself also will account for the difference your power supply makes.

My best option was to vent things outside directly. Problem solved for me, and still overclocked.

My numbers currently:
OC'd at 250, WU 7,021, 399 watts. So 17.6 WU per watt consumed.
