A few questions for Bitmain.
1) Spec says 100V - 220V. Are these ok on 240V?
2) What is the capacity of the on board battery?
3) Is the battery only suitable for charging USB devices or can it also power the router without mains connection?
4) Does the Router continue to Mine when on battery power?
5) If the battery supports running the device, what is the battery life?
6) Is there a more complete Specification / Manual that answers these & other question?
Thanks
Rich
1) the router certainly runs on either 5v or 12v. The voltage rating applies only to the adapter sold with it.
2/3/4/5) what on board battery? I don't see any mention, but would assume any battery is simply to maintain rom/clock and not actually significant capacity. Certainly won't be for mining or mobile use.
Afaik this supports 3 main uses:
A) basic WiFi network for anyone who only has a wired network/modem.
B) novelty/collectible/"lottery device" for non-profitable mining
C) if it can connect to WiFi and act as wired access point it would solve the griping over lack of WiFi in mining hardware. You place one of these and a network switch in your mining farm, and save yourself costly ethernet installation through the walls/floors of your home
If it does the wired AP or wireless repeater effectively though, it could be a decent device useful for more than simply mining
