Guys I dont have a fancy multimeter, would it be possible to just pencil mod the resistors without a multimeter with a #2 pencil? maybe just a few strokes on each to see what I get? then lower freq to 300 or so?

yeah you could . nothing cheaper then that. just don't blame anyone if it burns up.

I used to do that with my red fury usb sticks worked fine.

remember this gear cost more and uses more power. but 2 pencil strokes with medium pressure should work okay. saves 10-15 bucks on the meter.

edit:

good you purchased a meter

yeah 7 bucks isnt bad, and its amazon so technically I could just return it after i use it Grin

might come in handy for the s3's however, so maybe ill hang onto it

I have a good WI-FI antenna that came with my Computer's wifi card, it came with 2 so could i just use one of them on the antminer?

If I recall no as the connector on the antminer does not fit typical antennas you need an adapter. There are some that got wifi to work so it is possible.

you could start a thread with a title. ' I need help to set up wi fi for my antminer s-1 '

Ask for advice from some one that got it to work. Most people needed some kind of adapter or trick to do it.

edit /etc/config/asic-freq

Quote

   option 'freq_value' '0A81' #275M
   option 'chip_freq' '275'
   option 'timeout' '45'

Guys how do i find the /3tc/config/asic-freq folder?

you need to ssh in via this video. but don't over clock under clock.

here is some more

Thank you, Final noob question, How do i set up WIFI and how strong is the WIFI antenna?

many people skip the wifi they go cat 5 ethernet cable to this :

http://www.amazon.com/IOGEAR-Universal-Ethernet-Adapter-GWU627/dp/B004UAKCS6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1404310588&sr=8-1&keywords=ethernet+to+wifi+bridge

What's that, i dont get it, I dont have WiFi N.

wifi can be hard to get to work. I do all wifi workarounds at my location.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833704164&cm_re=tp-link_nano_powerline-_-33-704-164-_-Product

if your wifi router has some cat 5/6 ports

one of these plugs into the wall and your router.

the other plugs into the wall next to your miner and into your miner. a wifi work around. and if you have lots of miners you pick this up

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833156251&cm_re=8_port_switch-_-33-156-251-_-Product

so for 1 miner

wi fi router > nano-powerline > house wire> nano-powerline > antminer

for lots of miners :

wi fi router > nano-powerline > house wire> nano-powerline >8 port switch> lots of antminers

3D Printed!

once you are @root (ssh into your S1) copy/paste each line and hit enter after each line...

cd /etc/config

vim asic-freq

use the "I" key to enter edit mode.

Add/remove the # signs as needed (no # sign indicates ACTIVE freq)

Use "ESC" key to exit edit mode
type ":wq" and enter then "reboot" and enter

Hope that helps
