The more I play with these things the clearer it is to me that they are junk. I've got two Avalons that I have to manually restart cgminer on about every 4 hours otherwise their hash rates drop to under 100 mhs. As soon as I restart cgminer they go back to their advertised speeds. Also while they are running slow the web interface is SUPER choppy.
Is there a way to force cgminer to restart itself every 6 hours or so?
Oh, all hardwired not wi-fi.
I guess I'm not totally surprised that they are shit.
you can give this a try:
1. log in to your miner via it's IP address.
2. go to the 'system' tab.
3. click in to the 'scheduled tasks' tab.
4. under the existing commands paste these commands in.
0 */4 * * * /etc/init.d/cgminer restart
0 20 * * * /sbin/reboot
5. what this does: have the device restart CGminer every 4 hrs (change the '4' value according to the frequency you desire) & have the device do a full reboot every 20 hrs (change the '20' value according to the frequency you desire).
please let me if this has helped you - this has fixed a lot of my issues with my minis (i have 6).
