I have a bit of a problem. Hoping someone can help, I'm fine with computers but have no clue when it comes to network addresses etc.

To start with, I couldn't change the routers subnet so I went through a direct PC connection. Logged into the Ant fine & changed to DCHP. The Ant still had 192.168.1.99/24 as the IPv4 address at that time.

Here's where I went wrong perhaps, I had to connect to the internet again to get details for my pool (having to disconnect from the Ants), and since then I haven't been able to re-login to the Antminers. I've tried resetting them and trying to find them via the router, but they are not there. Anyone have any idea what went wrong/how I can login to them again pls?

Download Advanced IP Scanner and run that. It should find your Ant.

thanks for your reply.  Funnily enough I had just run that software, but Ants are not found :/  Which is weird because the lights are happily flashing away & I'm sure they're mining to Bitmain's account no problem over my network somehow.

my ip scanner reports ants as Paragon technologies

There is nothing icky about that. Looking up the manufacturer from a MAC address is often inaccurate, and on top of that it reports the manufacturer of the network interface controller on the device, not the manufacturer of the device.
