Just to give an idea TP-link VS windows...

I have both running the exact same kind of miners, HEX16A2's.

After a good long time of running both as hosts I'll tell you, avoid windows! I only run it due to lack of hubs which I hope to be able to fix soon.

The TP-link set has 98% uptime, the 2% due to PSU spazzing out and shutting down for unknown reason, but it's an old shitty PSU so it's definitely at fault. Only the miners connected to that PSU shut down, others were still mining.

Windows has about 40-60% uptime depending on how quickly I catch when the USB shits itself... BEWARE. The messup has a roughly 100% chance of happening over a span of 4 days.

I have the TP-link on a powered hub that also powers the TP-link and it has literally NEVER shut down. Even when I blew the PSU's plugged into the miners and had hubs go apeshit due to power leak to ground, TP link was still up, just showing no miners online Tongue. In my experience these things are bomb proof, plus no mucking around compiling stuff, just flash the Technobit firmware, log in, set up worker and pool, and never mess with it again.
