i had The same issue but it not was a change in a switch. I have 3 sp20 and one of them suddenly fail and couldn't find it in my network. no led light just fan and Ethernet lights worked. I tried to restore the miner several times and finally works. then, the miner worked fine for a day and had the same failure again. I had to call spoondoolies tech support and return back the miner . I believe that was problem in the controller board works some times and fail again. try to connect the miner again directly to the router . I hope it works

I am having some issues with my SP20 and hoping someone can help me out. I know it is a networking issue, but only my SP20 doesn't want to cooperate so I am posting here. So here it goes. I have had a Netgear JFS516 Switch set up in a closet space running 1 SP20 and 2 Ant S3's which is connected to my D-Link wifi router without any issues. I recently added a Netgear FS524 Switch which is fed from the same router into a different closet space. The SP20 now refuses to run, while the ants are still happy working away. There is no IP conflict from the newly added hardware connect to the new switch.

Things I have tried:
Disconnect the newly added switch then restart the old one.
Connect the SP20 to the newly added switch.
Connect the SP20 directly to the D-Link router.
(in all situations I get 6 yellow blinks and fan wind ups/downs)

When this first happened I brought the unit home and it refused to work on my home network (at that time there was no LED activity at both locations), did a restore on it, updated firmware and it ran fine all night. Took it back and it still doesn't want to run. Brought it home again tonight and it fired right up. I really don't want to drag this thing home again tomorrow and get that look from my wife which I am sure some of you are familiar with and needs no explanation.

Thanks for reading! Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

If you can help me fix this problem, I will have the unit mine for you for 1 week as a thanks. (1.5TH)
