If you have a router/modem combo then I've heard those can be quite restrictive and just outright bad for managing a lot of connections, even though miners really do not use very much of the network at all.
All depends on what one you get, in this case it was not a problem of restriction but of losing connection. Some combo's supposedly are very nice if you get gigabit internet it takes a decent modem/router to handle it.
In my case it was very restrictive on combo though. It stopped some ports I used at one time when using sites that I could allow people to rent my hash, also part of my security system. What I did and others can to is call you dls/cable company and tell them of problems and say you want a passthrough mode on modem. If they are a good ISP they will work with you and you can use your own Router.
That is what I did and ended up getting a blackhawk router which has done pretty darn well overall. So I'm happy with my gigabit internet on my own modem. But did take ISP to enable passthrough to allow this.
someone please help . Im new to mining and i bought 5 s3 antminers. i only have one plugged in now to my switch and a direct Ethernet cord from switch to verizon router. It keeps beeping and loosing internet for no reason. sometimes my laptop losing internet now too. does this mean the verizon router is to little to handle the internet usage. or is there something wrong with my miner setup? Please help asap.
