I finally got someone from Bitcoin Merch to help me out.

What I had to get it to work again was use a USB to ethernet adapter and plug it in to the router. It took about 30 minutes, but eventually my router detected the wired connection and I used that IP.
Thank goodness I already had a adapter on hand.

So from there, because I already flashed the miner with an update, I had an updated Bitcoin Merch interface/OS. It was asking me for my wifi credentials and the miner was running again.

Sort of.

I had to do a tiny bit more fiddling, cause it seemed like it was having a hard time staying a higher hashrate, so I felt there was still something else going on.

So what I found was a bad PSU, cause I read that to be a common issue.

Again, thank goodness I had a spare PSU on hand for the Mars Lander. I bought one thinking it was an 'updated' model, but it was the same one I already had. So I decided to just hang on to it.

So I think the miner got tweaked partly from a bad PSU, but I recall having some weird power outages in my area lately and I noticed right after, my miner wasn't acting normally. That might have done something to the PSU.

So yeah, bad PSU.

Now that I have and updated OS, I can now use the upgraded Compac stick which would also give my miner a boost.
The new Compac A1 stick miner gets up to 500Gh/s, that's double what I get now.

Maybe I could sell my CompacF and trade for the upgraded stick.
