1) hold the reset button for a full 6 seconds before releasing.
2) It will now be at 192.168.1.99 (or 192.168.2.99)
3) Assuming your router is 192.168.1.1 - static IP
ipv4 address: 192.168.1.99
ipv4 netmask: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.1.1
Broadcast : LEAVE THIS BLANK
custom dns server: 8.8.8.8
Disable DHCP
4) if it still wont work, what are your pool details and post some screenshots
I tried holding the reset button for twice that long and then shutting it down, leaving it off for a while, then starting it back up. Then when I tried to set my IP to 192.168.1.99 or 192.168.2.99 and connect to it but it's not there. I doubt the router is 192.168.1.1-- This is a university network so everything is 130.160.XXX.XXX instead of 192.168 and I have no ability to administrate a router or anything like that. Are those settings in step 3 supposed to be for my computer or the miner?
Ok, I think you might be misunderstanding something: you need to set the ip address of your pc to something different to 192.168.1.99 or it will conflict with the miner, if you set your PC to 192.169.1.99 they will never connect. I'm sure the miner will be 192.168.1.99, so you need to change the ipv4 of your PC to 192.168.1.2 and then connect to the miner by typing 192.168.1.99 in your browser. You'll then need to change the ipv4 address of your miner (WAN) to something like 130.160.[this must be the same as your university range].200, or try setting it to DHCP client for it to be automatically assigned an IP.
Your problem is that your miner is on a different network to you uni and you need to get into the miner to change the WAN IP address so it can access the uni network... the easiest way to do that is log in to it with an ethernet cable, but your pc needs to be on the same network as the miner to do that i.e. 192.168.1.[whatever].
