Topic: How Many would like Wifi for KncMiners? - page 2. (Read 2361 times)
I think KNCminer machines were designed with the intent they are housed in datacenters even though a lot of early buyers probably will mine from their residents. WiFi could be a security issue in datacenters and probably doesn't make sense in that environment.
yep true, otherwise, you should use some multi functional AP if there will be only ethernet port. I personally use this one (http://www.ovislink.com/newovislink/products/wireless/wl-5460ap/wl-5460ap.asp) for similar scenario without any issues.)
3 ethernet ports? like enterprise server maybe, one for corporate network, one for backup and last one for RSA card.))

yeah you would have to buy a bridge, all i know is that it's pretty stupid to not have wifi, even if you kept everything in the same room, the wires will make such a mess. I've run my miners for 2 months straight over wifi and zero problems.

Guys,
I found out a few days ago when I asked KnC, about a if the miners will support wifi, and was told no that they only have 3 ethernet ports. If anyone plans on having multiple miners dealing with being plugged in is going to be a pain. Especially if you are moving your miners to different rooms to not trip circuit breakers.
Also, USB ports would be useful for communicating with the device, I'm sure alot of community members will come up with tweaks and neat things, where a Ethernet port can't do.
Secondly, You can always replace a wifi adapter if it fails with a USB port.
Anyway please vote, so we can have Knc take a look at it, and hopefully implement this feature, if it doesn't delay anything.
