Now that my rig stability problems are fixed... I have another type of problem with my network.
Basically, it appears as though my mining rig sometimes kills my router completely.
First time last week and back then I really thought the router was the problem:
My internet was down on my wifi.
So I went to check on my PC. No internet either.
I try to connect to my router (tp-link N750) and it can't be reached.
I rebooted the router. No change.
I reset the router. No change.
I connect a laptop straight to the modem: internet is up.
So I figured that the router was faulty and I went to the store to buy a new one: tp-link Archer C7.
Now I don't remember if I had turned off my rig before installing the new one... The new one worked... for a week.
Last night I got the same problems: no internet and can't even connect to the router.
But instead of trying to reboot and reset the router, I just turned off my mining rig. And voilà, everything was working again, I did not even need to restart the router.
Today I got the same problem again. I turned off my rig and 1 minute later my network was up again.
The rig was stuck at the "Connecting to simplemining..." stage when I turned it off.
On my router admin pages I can't see any errors in the logs.
Important note: I have a switch between the router and the mining rig. It's a basic dlink DGS-1005G.
I will try removing that switch from the setup and plug my rig directly in the routeur to see if it helps.
Any clues other then that?
