So I received my antrouter today from eyeboot.com (klintay on the forum) and got to set up with crazy guys update. Now im curious about whos changed the chip settings of the R1 to get the most out of it safely. What settings have you got?
Also when changing the U3 settings does the voltage auto adjust or do you have to manually enter a voltage when you change the freq?
Thanks in advance.

I've sold out of R1's, and as promised, I am releasing my customized firmware to the community. Please note that although I refer to this package as custom firmware, it is really just a patch file. If you reset your R1 to factory defaults, you will lose the customizations. In which case, you would just need to re-apply the patch.
Changelog for release 0.95:
- Opened up port 4029 for API access to cgminer-u3 instance
- Max frequency for U3 increased to 250M
- Max fequency for R1 increased to 250M (I have not personally tested freq past 125. Use at your own risk!)
Firmware Enhancements
- U3 zombie handling(Scripted auto-cgminer restarts and R1 reboot if necessary)
- Supports modifying R1 pools from UI, without losing the ability to use Bitmain's solo pool for R1.
- Detailed R1 stats page, including pool statistics
- Supports modifying R1 freq and voltage from UI
- U3 freq selection increased to 250M
- Cgminer-U3 API open for monitoring with 3rd party tools
WARNING: These customizations provide the ability to push your R1 beyond its intended limits. Because of this, it will likely void your warranty with Bitmain. Additionally, I provide this patch with no official support, and take no responsibility for any damage done to your R1 device or its surroundings. Use at your own risk! By downloading and applying this patch, the user is accepting these conditions.

How many U3s can the router manage without a powered hub?
I did 3 with a very cheap usb 2.0 hub and it had no problems at all. Not sure what is highest it's been pushed to.
Also with it having external power I don't think powered/non-powered have near as much effect as a miner such as stick miners that run off usb juice.
That's good to know. Looks like I'll be snapping up some cheap ones if I see them then
U3s are great miners, and it's pretty unbelievable that they can support 4 bm1382/bm1384 with a tiny 92mm fan. I'm looking for more from bitmain, and if they don't deliver, i'm looking at sidehack for the next gen miners.
So far it looks like the U3 won't be getting a better chip, and I bet the U4 will never come out.
you know you can make a watchdog script on your rpi to check if the u3 went offline and have it run every few minutes..
I had no idea stuff like this even existed.. I've thought about it before, but I can't write crap so I just forgot.ill give you an example when i get home

Did the Router has a normal 220Volt connector for Germany?

Still available?
R1 batch 3 is available on the Bitmain Website.

Why am I not surprised?
Also, received my R1 today, the "EU" plug is huge, and ofc it's a plug without ground. So it won't fit in any sockets.. ridiculous.
What is really ridiculous is selling a US adapter when it has a plug that works direct to US outlet. Now that is crazy.
My R1 ran with Crazyguys software for a while while I had a U3 that it was controlling, but once the U3 died there wasn't a reason for me to keep the R1 running to it's filed away in my drawer with other obsolete hardware. I would have never run it with Bitmain's factory settings because I was concerned about where it was pointed and what it was actually mining, but that's not a concern with Crazyguy software.
I used the plug adapter, too, but mostly as a standoff on my power strip so I could access the plug next to where the R1 was plugged in.

Better then mine I had someone buy it on ebay.... keep it almost a month then decided they did not want it. Said it was not good enough router..... and it is no nighthawk like I use for my house (actually use 2 nighthawks and a nighthawk extender). I wish they would have asked and I could have told them not to expect worlds greatest router.... it is a lotto miner that is a great U3 controller.
So sometime this week thanks to paypal I get my R1 back.... and hopefully it is still in perfect condition and I will plug it in again. Not sure if I will try to sell again or not. For what it brings I have had more headaches over this R1 ebay sale then much higher priced miners.
But I will have a R1 sometime this week from buyer.

Bitmain has a bug in their firmware/cgminer implementation? Who would have ever guessed?!
They've had errors in almost every single one of their gui's since the S1, no surprise the R1 has failings, too.
Unless the R1 is smarter than we think and only reports btc blocks found... unlikely and realistically will never be tested.

i checked the code.. it doesnt even really look like it would ever do anything. its not right.
for one thing , it only says "you have not found any blocks yet!"
it doesnt even have a you have found a block comment.
i really dont think bitmain expected this R1 to ever find a block.. yet 100s of them are mining on their pool.. which i think they are taking in the bitcoin for themselves. collectively im pretty sure its a fair amount.
yeah i know it says its solo mining.. yet its solo mining to a port that is specific for the r1, and its super easy for them to put them on any pool they want..
