I moved the blade downstairs but am still having the wifi issue. Turn the wifi off, hash rate goes up to 13,000. Turn it back on, and it starts alternating between my two pools every 20 seconds or so at about a constant 10,000 mh/s rate (which is better than before, but still not optimal). I am stumped.
I've been having problems with my two blades for days. I just disabled the wireless on my router and everything started working perfectly, so I think we have the same problem. With the wireless enabled I can't even get the blades to return more than 2 or 3 shares to the stratum proxy. They'll hash via getwork protocol at around 5-6GH/s though. With wireless off they work great via stratum proxy or getwork. Leaving wireless disabled for any length of time isn't really an option for me though.
I'm using a Verizon MI424WR-GEN2 router, any chance that's what you're using?
I have a Verizon westell 7500 DSL modem/wireless router combo. I finally solved the problem and it's been hashing away for over 24 hours now at over 12800. Currently 13,000mh/s. What I finally figured out was that the wireless signal from my modem/router was problematic. To get around it, I had an old linksys wrt150n lying around with dd-wrt v24 firmware. I disabled the wifi on the westell and (with the help of verizon tech support) configured it to be a modem only, leaving my linksys router to be the wireless signal. Worked like a charm, but I can't explain why. Good luck to you sir.
EDIT: .2 BTC paid to dogie in good faith for his efforts in helping me understand stratum. The rest I am going to keep because I spent about 48 hours solving this on my own. Sorry to offend you guys in the beginning of this thread. Otherwise, I hope it helps someone else who has the same problem.
