Hi, anyone knows if it's possible to connect two Antminers S1 bridging over LAN? I mean, I have one Antminer with WiFi Antenna connected to my router and I would like the second one to connect with a CAT5 cable to the first Antminer. Could that work? I have seen one can bridge interfaces and one can create a DHCP server on the WWAN interface... but I don't feel like bricking my device, therefore if anybody knows if it's possible, great, otherwise I'll just buy another WiFi Antenna Smiley
whay dont bay some cheap switch like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833704027
plug and play

Cause I can go get an antenna for 5€ tomorrow... but tonight I gotta sleep with this loud mofo in my room... router is here Smiley


Oh and that link is for a switch with no WiFi... my miners are on the balcony... and I can't get a CAT5 there. Only WiFi

Buy a cheap bridge like post #1 mentions and hook it into a cheap switch.  It will be tons easier and only cost you about $65.

65$??

Antenna is just 5€. The question is if the OpenWRT devices on these guys can do bridge the connection from Wireless to the LAN Port... I thank your replies, but stop recommending me solutions that are too complicated (or same as going to buy an antenna) or too expensive if you just have no answer for the question.

And yes, I do keep them outside. It's a closed balcony with no danger of rain water coming into it. I've had litecoing mining rigs for months there... No worries.


I'll post it, since you didn't bother to read it.

AntMiner Alternate Wi-Fi Mining

Even though the Bitmain AntMiner supports built-in Wi-Fi mining, to get the best out of the miner while running Wi-Fi at home, here is an easy solution for you and we tested it for over 24-hours and so far it’s working.

You can use any similar items to make it work.  We picked readily available item at the US BestBuy Sotre.  Netgear Model#: WNCE2001-100NAS.  (Price was $49.99)

If you happens to be living in a dorm, apartment or wherever you can only access to the internet via Wi-Fi, this will make the Bitmain Antminer believe it’s connected to the wired Ethernet and this will not stress the miner. 

Bandwidth use during the last 24-hours or more like 36 hours happened to be RX: 38.86 MB (161800 Pkts.) & TX: 14.68 MB (105524 Pkts.)

We purchased the above item to test it out with the Bitmain AntMiner and it worked!

While it may work for short-term, the ambient moisture of simple things like dew will cause your components to rust and fail MUCH earlier.  I (and everyone else here) will highly recommend NOT putting any electronics outside.
While it may be possible to bridge them, I would not recommend it, as it would be needlessly complicated and unreliable. 

I have read that... but still tells me nothing I don't know. I know I can get a wifi router and use it as a wifi bridge. You still don't know a certain answer, so please stop replying if u don't know. Thank you for your help though.

About putting electronics outside. Humidity is not a problem... Condensation occurs on cold objects when humidity is high, not on objects hotter than air temperature. Vapour doesn't condensate on warm objects with a fan working 24/7 like the miner... and therefore will not rust or fail.
