Miner status page showing that pool alive and it accepts blocks, but public pool log shows that antminer connects and disconnects.

I guess it some problem with public pool config again. Previously i tested this Antminer S9 on real btc pool (antpool) and it was working fine without disconnects.

All i can suggest is to also check your S9 log, either from it's webpage[1] or SSH (if you already use custom firmware which allow that) in order to see whether S9 mention reason of the disconnection.

Thanks for suggestions, indeed it was related to to miner settings, i found theses messages in its watchdog logs

It means miner was stopping because of hashrate threshold drop, and further i found setting which adjust this

Restart if hashrate us below given number of percents of ideal hashrate

I have disabled restart function and so far the miner running for 10 mins without restarts keeping approx. 9th/s hashrate.
It's a not a big deal, but why it cant reach at least 13 th/s which it has on antpool?
