Without adding an antennae whats the wifi range on an S3+. Just curious. Thanks!
Strato
7m and the second floor, with stone walls did not have any problem. Tested with 4x S3 with wifi. Without antenna? I find it hard to believe.

But he asked range without antenna ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) . And about the range with antenna.It varies.I had 4 or 8 S1 located about 1 meter from router.They worked well sometimes 2 months,sometimes 2 days.I think the issue is something called "radio weather". I really know nothing about it,HAM-amateurs here should be able to explain it.All I know,is that it has nothing to do with weather as we know it. It has something to do with stratosphere,ionosphere or something.Ask wiser men more.

You could get real complicated, but with S3 with no antenna it is not going far. Most likely you are in same room close to router to get a signal.

I can tell it work with my TPLink without antenna at a few meters with no interference between. But sometimes a miner will drop as if its having a problem connecting to wifi. So basically i have the bulk of my S1's right next to the router. (Because why not) and the others are using antennas and i can place them anywhere in my apartment.

Stay away from cheap PSU's. It just is not a good way to get started. Look for a decent one at least. That is pretty much a great example of a cheap psu that I personally would never use for mining.

Oh really the guy I bought the S1 from said any 400w PSU would be ok with so I just went for a 500w to be safe. Feel a bit silly now... I thought with an S1 it would be ok seeing as it an older device...

Would it not even work to get started with until I can afford to purchase something a bit better?

I would not touch that for mining at all. Look at what happens on failures of PSU's. I bet the wires are very very cheap. I would be surprised if they don't heat up and possibly melt. Don't order it. Trust us.

He provided you exactly what you ordered. If you return he has to eat shipping most likely. I suggest eating the £12.95 and just not use the thing.

Without adding an antennae whats the wifi range on an S3+. Just curious. Thanks!
Strato
Take apart an old laptop which had wifi and use those antennas. Each laptop had 2.

This HP server PSU has efficiency only 80+ bronze... This was just an example of what you can get for £15 as opposed to a cheap ATX PSU. If you can suggest something better for the money please go ahead? Either way "only 80+ bronze" is a bit academic if the OP is going to using an S1. Rich

I just got one of these and while it is quiet, it is still somewhat loud when trying to watch television. I want to drop the frequency down to 100M during the evening when I am in the room, then put it back to 225M (the default frequency). Basically, underclock when I am in the room and put to the normal speed when I go to bed/work.
Is there any danger of damaging the memory/storage with frequent writes to it? I don't imagine there is a hard drive inside the unit, so it must be writing the setting to some other form of non-volatile storage (with potentially limited writes).
Also, is it possible to automate this and have it follow a schedule?
