I managed to lock myself out of the Antminer once already trying to set up the wi-fi antenna, so clearly I'm either over or under-thinking this.
Following Dogie's fabulous guide here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/guide-dogies-comprehensive-bitmain-antminer-s1-setup-hd-355387And sushi's guide here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/setup-troubleshoot-bitmain-antminer-s1-180ghs-miner-344970Both state something to the effect of "add your wireless network settings".
Here is explicitly what i'm doing:
Network > Interfaces > WiFi > Scan for networks
Putting in the password for the network. It default to creating a new interface called WWAN.
After hitting apply, both WAN and WWAN connect, but they each seem to take a different IP address (the WAN stays on 192.168.1.99, but the wireless jumps on DHCP somewhere, generally 192.168.1.6 or 192.168.1.7).
I unplug the Ethernet cable & it continues to mine for bitcoins using the wifi.
Great, except the problem is if I unplug the power cord & plug it back in, it can't re-establish the connection. I've attempted taking down my routers firewall completely, creating a port forwarding for my mining port to the dynamic IP address (which is not practical if I have 2 machines mining off wifi), and bridging the connections (which made my machine totally inaccessable via ethernet & forced me to hard reset it).
Once powered back on, the ONLY way to get it mining again is to plug the ethernet cable in for about 30 seconds so it can get connected again, then unplug the cable. The problem here is that I would like to set the machine up in another room, which means walking an ethernet cable in there and "jump starting" it every time it loses power, which is not particularly practical.
