Re: Avalon ASIC users thread

Why is my miner losing connection? I have only had it a couple of days and haven't tampered with the hardware. Sometimes when I come home after college my miner has stopped mining and the orange light is on, so it is losing connection, yet my internet has been on the whole time. Can anybody help? Thanks.

p.s. My miner is an AvalonMini 60Gh.

you connecting via wifi or physical ethernet cable?
ethernet cable is always much more stable than wifi.

So I could just unscrew and remove the external WiFi Ariel and plug it directly into my router with an Ethernet? Would that require me to change any settings?

You would need to change the Avalon's ethernet port IP address to something similar to your computers. For insance, if your desktop/laptop is something like 192.168.1.100 change the Avalon to 192.168.1.(pick a number between 10 and 254). Keep in mind that there might be something on your network with the number you might choose so pick something odd like 177...

Remove the antenna, plug in an ethernet cable and you should be good to go.
