Anyone know if the X3 will work wireless, or does it have to be hard wired to the router?

The miner is wired only, however you can setup a router with the DD-WRT firmware installed in wireless bridge mode connected wirelessly to your main wireless router and then plug in the miner to one of the LAN ports.  However I dont think you would want to go wireless because wireless increases your latency, depending how  far you are from the main wirelesss router the latency might be from very minuscule with a 100% signal strength to very major with a weaker signal strength of like 35% or less.  If I were you I wouldn't risk compromising or jeopardizing profitability by attempting to go wireless, I would run a Cat 5e/6 network cable from the main router/network switch to the location where you want to have the miner installed and operational.  Remember, you paid either $11,999, $7,xxx, $3,000 or $1,990 depending when you made the purchase and your job now is to attemp to at least break even on that investment and then hopefully turn a profit and for that time is running out and you would like to do that as soon as possible, so no wireless.
