Well I found the problem. It turns out all the power strips I tried had grounded enclosures. So when the metal of the case touched the grounded metal of the power strips it would energize the case. I attached it to a normal wall outlet without issue.

Glad you found out what it was. Hope it works great.

I have have one no issues with shocking. Do you know if the shock as from case or possible surge protector? I would try on a different surge protector if not on one already.

It is odd that it would be able to build up shock through case and still work. I would think you would have some issues.

I'm not always crazy

I did suggest on trying another one all surge protectors, and power strips are not equal.

The good news is the vendor is refunding me and taking it back. The bad news is I need to find another one as he is out.

Yes I am in the US, and it is a US plug. I would also love to tear it open, but think that could void any kind of warranty I have.

I have tried 3 different power strips. What is odd is the short is not causing the GFCI on the outlet to pop.

I should not assume but you are using on a US outlet right? Not somewhere where adapter is needed?

I'm going to guess US. But your on right track on contacting seller. I would love to tell you to open it up and see if something is off, but that no doubt would make it where seller would make you keep it.

I got my antrouter yesterday, and plugged it in with no issue. Today I was moving all my mining equipment to a new location. When I went to move the Antrouter it shocked me. I did a quick search(here and google), and nothing came up. I have already contacted the seller, but I was curious if anyone else was having the same issue.
