Hello Everyone, I would first like to think everyone whos has contributed to this thread very informative.
I just received my A4+ yesterday and have a few issues to get worked out. It looks like mine is a G19 and a build date of December 15.
First question is should I do the upgrade first before configuring network IP address? I noticed accessing the browser was a little buggy and had to be constantly restarted. It also hanged up a lot when accessing different tabs. I just didnt want to lose access while in middle of update so havent updated yet.
I think because my gate way is 10.0.0.1 I need to use the network cross cable method to configure IP address correctly.
I did change my gateway to 192.168.1.1 which allowed me to access 192.168.1.254. The problem is all other devices are 10.0.0.* on network including an Antminer S9 which went offline.
The steps I plan to take to tackle the IP configuration.
1. Change gateway back to 10.0.0.1.
2. Then take a crossover cable and connect A4+ to laptop off network.
3. Go into the settings on laptop and change IP address to 192.168.1.1. Try to access A4+ with 192.168.1.254 and change Network to DCHP.
4. Change laptop back to dynamic IP
5. Reconnect A4+ and laptop back onto 10.0.0.1 gateway.
6. Look up new IP address for A4+
7. Hope this address allows connection.
I want to make sure to do firmware update correctly so here are my step
1. Download latest build Jan###
2. Save to desktop
3. Access miner from browser
4. Go to update tab
5. Select file to update
6. Run
7. Keep fingers crossed!
Hopefully this make the browser less buggy!
Thanks for any insight to these steps about to be performed.
Also, what PSU are you guys using? I thought I was getting a Innosilicon version, but was shipped a 1850 watt PSU that is European voltage 180-240 volt with yellow & black leads.
I ended up testing with Bitmain power supply.
Im in process of upgrading circuit to 220 volt to run both miners on same circuit.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

i would do it this sequence easier - before you change your gateway back
1. Go into the settings on laptop and change IP address to 192.168.1.1. Try to access A4+ with 192.168.1.254 and change Network to DCHP.
2. Change gateway back to 10.0.0.1.
3. Change laptop back to dynamic IP
4. Reconnect A4+ and laptop back onto 10.0.0.1 gateway.
5. Look up new IP address for A4+
6. Hope this address allows connection.
