Hmmm not sure how a reset can do that
Do you have wire shark?
Or I use another program called

Who's on my wifi

It's very good at picking up computers

No such luck.  But as if on cue, Avalon got back to me and gave me some things to try opening up the box.  They want me to direct connect the FPGA hub to my laptop and see if I can get it to hash.  They are thinking the router is flawed.

Hi it might of changed its IP address to 192.168.1.100
Try changeling your laptop to 192.168.1.2 and see if you can ping the other address

I could use some help and am getting no response from Avalon support -
I bought a number of miners in the auction but one has been problematic.  Had a harder time getting it to communicate with wireless but did so eventually.  Yellow light was flashing when hashing and speed was up down substantially.
I wanted to go back and start from scratch with it.  So under SYSTEM - BACKUP/FIRMWARE - RESET TO DEFAULTS I selected "Perform Reset"
The screen showed the machine processing for quite a while so I let it go and left it for a while.  Came back 15-20 minutes later and it was still processing.  I clicked on one of the other tabs in the menu and it went blank like it was not connected anymore.
So I shut it down and restarted it.  Tried accessing it with 192.168.0.100 and its Wifi address.  I get the black  screen saying "LuCI - Lua Configuration Interface" and it tries to connect, but times out.  I have let it sit on and off for quite a while over a few days.  But still the same result.  Unable to connect.
Both the green light and the amber (yellow) light are on full time.  No flashing.
I tried using the tiny reset button by the ethernet connection.  The blue light flashes rapidly as has been described, but still won't come up on my laptop.
Any suggestions?  Did it brick?

hi if you start reading from here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3419505

you should find the info you need
any problems let me know

Scroll back a few pages. it's here!

im having problems with my miner dropping low hash rate after hashing for a while, how do i set a scheduled task to restart cgminer? sorry. very new here! thanks for any help

hi guys, my avalon mini will be hashing at full capacity for close to 24 hrs and then all of the sudden drop to like 3gh/s, the machine continues to mine but at a reduced hashrate ~3-5gh/s. i have to log in to the avalon interface and reboot it before it will go back hashing at ~60gh/s, any idea why?

any help is appreciated! thanks!

Man seriously, a handful of avalon minis, got server room up from 20dgr to 24dgr running 2 ac units on full 16dgr.
These would be incredible placeheaters if one would be deaf!

Hm, if you are logged in on telnet, where are you trying to connect with ssh? i mean, the failsafe is already running on telnet for you to access. and it shows that you are logged in..

I suggest you, when logged in on telnet do:
more /etc/config/network

Show the output here. I assume it is a fixed ip-address you set a while back.
Put your pc on an ip on the same subnet, with that, you will be able to access the web admin using the ip you got from the above command and configure the unit again.

So I have managed to get failsafe working (thru telnet), but running into problems when trying to ssh.

That could be. Also there is a config file with the fixed ip on normal boot when in failsafe mode (that could be reason of not able to access it in browser mode as the ip could become an old one, was the case for me).

this is where you set ip in openwrt if you entered it wrong:
vi /etc/config/network
config interface 'lan'
        option ifname 'eth0'
        option type 'bridge'
        option proto 'static'
        option ipaddr '192.168.0.100'
        option netmask '255.255.255.0'
        option gateway '192.168.0.1'
        option broadcast ''
        option dns ''

Here's the full and very confusing link

http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/generic.failsafe

But yes, telnet is supposed to work first after a reset before you need ssh.

It's telnet, not ssh from what i know in failsafe mode.

i send same message to this email but their never answer. how to lost BTC with avalon

What is considered too hot temperature wise for an Avalon mini?

You're welcome. Mine certainly took longer than usual to come up after flashing to that one, but it's been working very well except for my status line not showing up as per normal. However if you read the posts from the two people who tried it, theirs didn't come up at all (no idea why!?). It's fixable if that happens though (see my post later on on how to reset it), it's not like it bricks the avalon.

ck - Always been a huge fan of your releases, thanks for all the great work!  

I had a buddy just upgrade his to the latest release no issue, I was about to until I saw the -bad also...  Is it just not coming back up on restart for people or  He says he gets better performance with the new firmware so I really wanted to try it probably will do so tomorrow on one of the minis since it sounds like we can still recover.  Anyone else tried it with either success or fail?

I'm a bit worried because I didn't change anything from how I usually built firmware and it was fine for me, yet it was bad for the 2 users who tried it, so until I can figure out what the actual issue was, I won't release a newer one.

any idea when you will of fixed the new Avalon firmware as I noticed Bad next to it
