I recieved my ant miner s1 today ( second one ) and set it from 192.168.1.99 to 192.168.1.242
I then tried to set up the wireless to connect but it kept going on and off so i turned the wireless off ( or so i thought ) and ended up turning the lan connection off....... yer i know stupid and not paying attention.
I read up about the hard reset button but it don't to do anything or reset back to its default of 192.168.1.99
so im stuck with a miner that can connect to anything or reset.
Any help would be very much appreciated and a donation will be made
Thank you

I'm using server PSU's. Dell 1570W one's. They power 3 ants... (2 oc'ed and 1 normal freq).... Can get them to work all 3 oc'ed... But it will take me some time... As the PSU has 5 Output pins which have a max of 312W per pin. I would need to connect the 5 pins in order to get the full 1570W out of it..without worrying that I will ruin my PSU. (Happened to some 930W one's I had...I wasn't aware that they had a max W on the output pins).
I didn't think to use Server PSU's. Yes, the price per watt is remarkably cheaper than your typical desktop PSU. Looking at pictures, I can't tell how you would be able to use this. Is there a breakout cable that attaches to the only port I can see?
On this forum you'll find loads of different PSU conversions.... Just one example of many:

You'll need to jumper a few pins together... but it's really REALLY easy.
Then you can opt for another jumper (of 2 pins) and that will lower the fan speed.
The PSU I have....it sounds like a boeing 747 on the runway... so that jumper saves me a load of headache!
see http://www.raptortechnique.com/12vpower.htm
I thought thiers was a little messy thou, so I made up some resistor banks that just plug on.
cool... I didn't give that a go...as I didn't have resistors lying around... and I'm not that technical... Have some junk electrical equipment.. Might remove a resistor and try it...just for fun.The descriptions I read were talking about an option of multiple resistors (each different strenght) and I was reading that...scratching my head.. thinking...Nah why be difficult...jumper it and should be enough
Found another link....this thread has a lot of PSU types and there pin-out diagrams (to know which pins to jumper in order for the PSU to turn on, etc)

I think this is way better then computer PSU's... The only draw back...is the wiring fron the PSU to the ant. With a computer PSU you just plug in the PCI connectors and your done.. With the server PSU I'm busy for a while with all power cables.. I used some extra (junk) power leads I had.
I ordered a corsair 1000w PSU on amazon for 130 GBP and some guys on this forum told me I could only power 2 ants.. I thought you know for 20GBP a 930W Dell PSU...just give it a try..and if jumpering is too difficult or I mess it all up...then at least I tried and I only loose 20GBP.
It worked and was really easy...so I canceled the order on amazon saving me some money...At the moment I paid 132GBP for 3x 1570W PSU's able to power 9 ants
I found that till now all ants were straight forward...
You go to wan settings, change IP of the ant to the correct subnet.
Change IP gateway
Remove IP broadcasting
DNS: fill out 8.8.8.8 and hit the save and update button.
Then login to your ant to the changed IP (what you filled out above).
Fill out your pool address, user name, password and hit save and update button.
That should be enough to get started.
I had major problems at the start... And it ended up being a lousy PSU...or actually 3 PSU's. I had bought 2x 850W computer PSU's.....cheap one's... they were 30GBP each and both weren't enough to power ONE ant!! Had to add a 3rd PSU to get it to work.
If the PSU is the problem...it won't start hashing as it does have enough power to startup...

Cool. Thanks. Some neat stuff there. And you can't beat that price per watt.
ok. So I did a factory reset, and logged back in like it was the first time.
Changed the network settings to what I thought they should be, and it wont mine now.

A factory reset puts you all the way back in square one, so are you able now to access the ant with your browser?
If yes, go to the network tab, Diagnostics, and try to ping openwrt.org. Do you get replies?
If packets are lost, then likely a DNS issue. Edit WAN again and enter 8.8.8.8 for "Use custom DNS servers".
If still not hashing, Go to System, reboot. and perform reboot. Sometimes, you need to wait 10 minutes for the ant to start hashing. Keep checking "Miner Status" under the Status tab.

My LAN isn't showing any packets sent or recieved. Could that be the issue?
It mined when I couldn't log in because I set WAN to DHCP client. So I wonder what were in those DHCP client settings that allowed the Antminer to mine?

It seems a bit more stable, but not stable enough. I switched off 2 ants and keep mining with 5... Expecting an 8th miner friday...so I hope everything is sorted by then.
So, if I understand correctly, when you have 5 ants hashing, the connection to the internet is stable and stays on, when you have 6 or 7, it starts to drop?
That would indicate - I am just guessing - a limit of bandwidth imposed on your connection by your ISP (Bandwidth throttling).
So, after all, maybe not a number of devices problem. Time to call your ISP's tech support.

Has anyone powered the S1 in unconventional ways?
Currently, the only way I have seen to do it is to use a computer PSU. I'm wondering about the use of a different kind of power converter for cases when you want to power an army of S1's. The overall goal is to reduce the price for each S1, which is currently the cost for the S1 plus a PSU. So far, it seems to me that it is cheaper to buy a 500 or 600 watt PSU for each one, rather than a 1200 watt PSU that can run two of them.
So I'm thinking of a situation where someone with electrician education has set up a separate line from the building main and then converted it accordingly and branched it to each S1. My understanding is that the S1 requires six 12 volt power lines and six ground lines. This sounds like it would not be too difficult to do and would be cheaper per S1, assuming you have over 20.

To be honest 45GBP to power 3 ants is in my eyes really do-able. I've got 3 PSU's at the moment. Might get another or might opt to get the 3x930W one's fixed if not too expensive
Is there any programs that do the same thing for an old macbook? Or is there any other ways to do it in Terminal?
Depending how old-if you have at least OSX 10.6.8, then you can download inet from the mac store. it cost $7.5, but shows all ip's on the network, both wired and wireless. See my post a few pages back how I set up wireless hashing for ants using airport extreme and airport express.

I think when I changed to DHCP client I changed the ip address of the machine. How on earth do I find it to log in now? What are the possibilities?
Advanced IP scanner - Its a free app.
All you need right now
I think when I changed to DHCP client I changed the ip address of the machine. How on earth do I find it to log in now? What are the possibilities?
Do I need to configure the dlink to a specific subnet... if so how?
Only if the factory default LAN subnet is the same as your ISP router's subnet. Do you have access to the User manual of that D-Link?MOST home network routers allow you to change the IP range of the subnet. It wil probably be somewhere in te BASIC settings of "LAN" on the D-Link.
Factory settings for it is to pull an IP address from ISP and provide local (192.168.x.x) addresses to devices connected to it.
Now this D-Link is pulling an IP address from your ISP router and this is its WAN address.
Correct me if I'm wrong.. I changed the standard IP of 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.5; but if I want there to be a subnet...then I need to use e.g. 192.168.1.5 right?
Difficult to answer that question. Make sure there's no conflict between the ISP router and your D-Link, they have to be on 2 different subnets.Post some screenshots if you are stuck.
Awesome ....got it all working....to an extend
I was able to setup the 2nd router.. changed all IP wan settings...and it started hashing... but after about 5min I lost the internet connection again.
It seems a bit more stable, but not stable enough. I switched off 2 ants and keep mining with 5... Expecting an 8th miner friday...so I hope everything is sorted by then.
Many thanks for all the support!
Ok I tried setting laptop ip to 192.168.1.254 I could connect with the previous setting of 192.168.1.94, but now I cant. I went into terminal and did: arp -na to reveal what is connected to the modem, and this shows up: (192.168.1.255) at ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff on en0 ifscope [ethernet]
I tried entering that address into my browser with the airport off and it still refuses to let me in. I can see that the mining pool is getting hashes from the miner so thats good. At least its mining now lol! But now its mining BTC, and I want to add some pools to switch to, and the little guy is being stubborn still. Any other reccomendations to try? Can I ssh into this thing and reboot it from there? Thanks for the help so far!
