User manual

TP LINK WR703N

The USB on the AR9331 have bugs. if you want use serial console, please the direct serial console on 703N (the /dev/ttyATH0). it's far more stable than USB-serial convertor. you may want add a usb-hub between machine and 703n

Raspberry Pi

The 13 ports USB HUB
  • The default firmware IP address is 192.168.0.100, you can access it by http://192.168.0.100
  • You may need update the address/DNS to your local configuration. DO NOT FORGET your IP address.
  • If Rpi can access internet the cgminer should automatic start

Manual by others

Overclock

  • Chip Freq: 1700, Voltage: 10750 --> 119GHs
Extra cooling is recommended, GJPMiningco recommend remove the slide 
panel that covers the heatsink and add some fans that blow down into
the heatsink at least 3 fans evenly spaced along the heatsink
