For the life of me I can’t understand running an s5 why not run a L3+ set it to nicehash which will pay in btc.

I run an L3+ as a space heater. set to 400 mh vs 500 mh it burns 565 watts. it earns 80 cents a day.

the s-5 earns under 10 cents a day.

pretend power is free. the L3+ earns at least seven times the coin.

Will running WIFI on an Antminer S5 cause a decrease bitcoin production? I was looking at using a Linksys EA3500-NP configured as a wireless bridge.
You'd have to have electricity cheaper than 0.001$/kwH to avoid the loss, and it's hard to run a profitable business with the Antminer S5.
Yes, you can, but wired connections are more reliable than wireless ones due to less exposure to noise or the possibility of signal loss. Yes, the EA3500-NP will work as a wireless bridge, but I doubt the profitability of the project.

Unstable wifi can cause the miner to stop mining but if you can keep it stable and low ping then it won't affect your mining shares.

About the Linksys EA3500-NP, it looks like a router but if it supports a wireless bridge then you can connect it through wifi.
Why did you choose this router instead of buying wifi extender with an ethernet port?
