We can do it with WIFI but it's not very reliable. That's my experience mining via wifi thru tp link. But maybe we can try another brand of adapter, and then maybe it can tell a better story.

Yes, through Wifi we are not getting better results and even tried my best to change many Wifi brands but it will help to benefit from it. I think we need to use mining rings which are best to use instead of using wifi.

Mining rings? What are they?

1.5 years old topic, someone brought back to life Smiley
so let me quote myself from another topic Smiley

If you are going to use WiFi in a mining farm then you are surely  gonna have connection problems as all load is on single router.

So if your rigs are hardwired, your rigs is not connected to a single router, and not all load is on a single router ? ? Smiley how many routers are you planning to use  for a few rigs whats are located in a different area of a apartment ?

My rigs are in different parts of apartment and therefore using Wired is not possible. I had to use wifi extender and connect rig to that extender using wired connection. It works usually but still wanted to find out option of removing the extender.
Thanks everyone for help.

Wired connection is always better, i would say the best. Its really doesnt matter you are using Wifi, Wired or PNA , if its set up right, you sould be good to go without any issues.

You have a few option other than wired connection, but not not much Smiley
Im posting links for you , so you can read and understand  better what im saying )

-Wifi - if you set up right , you cant have any issues ... get a access point with beam forming and MIMO function.
Example enGenius EAP 1250

If you dont want to wire anything, not even the access points, you have a option to build a whole home mesh wifi system, using the EAP 1250 what i linked earlier .

-Powerline Network Adapter, need some kind of short wiring, but you can use everywhere in your apartment.

When I first set up my rig I had it connected to a dial up and was mining for a month np (around 250-450 ms latency). The only problem was that the connection resetted every 24 hours, so I had to create a task to restart the rig to regain connection. Then I got a wifi dongle and was mining fine for a few months until the dongle died. Which brings us to my rig's current state: I had an old laptop collecting dust and used it to shared the ethernet connection with my rig. It's been working fine for the last 6 months @ 50-60 ms latency.

Just dont.

The simplest way to explain it is: Wifi networking batches packets, which confuses most pools. It doesnt matter what kind of equipment you have, thats just how wifi works.

After having helped thousands of miners with their setups, we can safely say that while you can mine on wifi, it causes trouble more often than not, usually at the pool side.

Pool software in general isnt sophisticated enough to deal with loads of out of sequence packets, they prefer a steady stream of data. Larger pools have developed solutions for this of course, and your local network hardware may mitigate that if you have spent your money properly, but the average small miner mining on the average small altcoin pool will have trouble, in our experience.

Best of luck!

I ended up using WiFi and it works a treat for me, so...

One Rig uses a USB WiFi adapter, the other is connected via RJ45 to a router in repeating mode (said router using WiFi to connect to my main router connected to the internet)

I think WIFI is not good for mining. Somehow when I turn on the mining, it seems to cause some problem with the WIFI signal. It's very unstable and internet is on and off and all the shares found is gone to waste. Maybe it depends upon the brand of wifi adapter but I don't recommend it.

All my rigs are running on wifi with a dedicated router and network for them, this is cheaper and cleaner than managing cables and switches.

Can't get much cleaner than this ... And nope, I'm not running them on wifi.

mining using wifi it's a good idea because of its stable connection speed, rarely experiencing interference, free access and its price is cheaper than a data sim card Pack.

Free access?  You're still paying for your internet connection whether you use wifi or not.  What are you doing? Loading up your mining rigs up in the back of your truck and parking it at McDonalds for the free wifi? Lol.  I'm surprised they let you run an extension cord in the back door to power them.

How much data do you consume?
Say for an average six card rig.

I have been mining on Wi-fi two weeks and have zero issues.  If you connection is stable with a good provider there is no reason you HAVE to do a wired connection.  A USB adapter works just fine.

TP-LINK Kiss

Good stable provider is a given.  You certainly need that.  That's going to go down even if you are hardwired.  If the internet connection isn't there, it makes no difference.  Please use good hardware (wifi router, extender, adapters) if you are going to use wifi.  And take into consideration the distance between the router and the wifi adapter. 

I have good internet provider with 100 Mb/s speed.
Only one problem - invisible adapter. I solved reinstall driver on this device.
And rig 24/7 working:)

I use a wifi and haven't had issues.   Main thing if you have multiple computers to to make sure you have a high quality switch, not a network hub...a real switch.  Don't put hubs, they will have more collisions.

From upstairs in a pillar.

I feel I've given enough details, keeping in mind the question was "How to get a rig to work on WiFi", not "How to reorganize my house"

Just like you would any other computer.  Why in the fuck would think it would be any different?

Why would one "HAVE" to use Wifi?
Because your internet modem is in the middle of your living room (plugged into a coaxial connection, your former "cable") and you don't want to see a cable running from there to your basement.
How are you going to see it?  Go right through the floor near the modem into the basement.
I'm not drilling through my hard floor :-D

Let me guess.  Your cable company ran their wires through your window? Lol.
