So I did find something interesting things out today as I got to tinker a bit more.

ASUS ROUTERS:
Do not try to assign a "manually assigned ip" on a Asus Wireless Router to a BitAxe. For whatever reason the units seem to crash out sporadically and don't reconnect correctly. Remove the manually assigned IP and all is good. It is recorded as deauthed in the Asus router log when the units try to reconnect. So let DHCP handle it which should help keep things more stable.

This seems to happen with both v201 & v204 pcb boards and the "Lucky Miner LV06" which is a complete and total rip off of the BitAxe. (I did share a breakdown of the hardware of the Lucky Miner LV06 with Skot)

Now... I bricked a Lucky Miner LV06 so please read this if you have one and try to update the firmware.

The Lucky Miner LV06 can in fact run and use the esp-miner.bin V2.0.7 firmware file from here: https://github.com/skot/ESP-Miner/releases but if you try to update the www.bin from https://github.com/skot/ESP-Miner/releases it bricks the miner and the UI is inaccessible.... So update the esp-miner.bin but DO NOT UPDATE the www.bin on the Lucky Miner LV06!

Enjoy!
