Can the antminer S1 connect directly to a computer and mine through cgminer? Also how good is the wireless, is it reliable enough to use 24/7?
it does not even need to connect to computer once the setup is done, it could be connected directly to the router either via ethernet cable or wirelessly.
yes i know that. I just want to know if it is possible.
yes it is, i had a bunch of S1 working for months each connected by the ethernet cable to the ethernet hub, which was in turn connected to airport express, which was connected wirelessly to my router. Hashing was stable and as expected. I preferred this setup. Others reported using S1 wireless antenna directly with or even without an additional antenna rod.
