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.
I've been getting this also, mainly on my wifi units. when connection is around 40% it tends to disconnect from wifi for some reason. If you cannot boost the signal, i suggest you restart the unit every 5-6 hours using the scheduled tasks (look in my old posts to find info how). Ofcourse, putting it on a cable connection is MUCH more reliable.
cgminer i keep restarting every 3 hours to keep hashrate on top.
Also, if its not in a very cool area, i would remove the 375mhz freq, put it on a more solid 340mhz and change it to --avalon-auto, this will keep the unit more cooler, and can help your tp-link wifi/network-card to not overheat due to exhaust air flowing over it..
