Miner Not Accessible After Static IP Change
After assigning a static IP address, an ASIC miner may stop appearing on the network, lose internet access, or become inaccessible through a browser.
This page explains the main mistakes made during static IP configuration and the methods for restoring access.
Common Causes of Static IP Setup Errors
Most errors occur due to incorrect network settings.
- Incorrect gateway
- Wrong subnet mask
- IP address from a different network
- IP address conflicts
- Firmware limitations
- Router-side restrictions
Even a single incorrect parameter can completely disrupt communication with the device.
Wrong Gateway or Subnet Mask
The most common problem is an incorrect gateway or subnet mask.
Symptoms:
- The miner is accessible locally but has no internet connection
- Cannot connect to the mining pool
- The web interface works unstably
How to check:
Compare the miner’s network settings with your PC settings (IP / Mask / Gateway / DNS). All values must belong to the same network.
IP Address Conflict
An IP conflict occurs when two devices use the same IP address.
Symptoms:
- Intermittent connection loss
- Connection errors
- “Fluctuating” or unstable access
- Unstable operation
Solution:
- Check the IP address range
- Eliminate duplicate addresses
- Assign a unique IP address
- Adjust DHCP settings
Always use a separate IP range for miners.
Miner Is Not Accessible After IP Change
If the miner does not open in the browser after changing the IP address, check the following:
Check:
- The correctness of the entered IP address
- Network cable and port
- Connection status
- Subnet settings
Recommended actions:
- Connect to the same network
- Rescan the IP address range
- Check the device list in the router
- Try temporarily enabling DHCP
In many cases, the miner has simply received a different IP address.
Network Isolation and VLAN Issues
Network restrictions often block access after changing the IP address.
Problematic features:
- Guest Wi-Fi
- Client Isolation
- Separate VLAN
- ACL filters
If the miner and PC are located in different network segments, the connection will be unavailable.
Solution:
Use the main network without restrictions for managing mining equipment.
Firmware and Access Limitations
Some firmware versions:
- Restrict IP address changes
- Require root access
- Reset network settings
- Block bulk configuration
In such cases, configuration capabilities depend on the manufacturer and software version.
Before making bulk changes, always test support on a single device first.
Step-by-Step Recovery Checklist
If the miner disappears after configuring a static IP, perform the following step-by-step check:
- Check the power supply
- Check the network cable
- Connect directly to the router
- Check your PC’s IP address
- Perform a new network scan
- Restore DHCP (if necessary)
- Reconfigure the settings
In 80% of cases, access is restored at these steps.
Restore Access via Direct Connection
If the miner is completely inaccessible:
- Connect it directly to your PC
- Manually assign a temporary IP address
- Check access
- Correct the network settings
- Reconnect it to the main network
This method helps in cases of serious configuration errors.
How to Avoid Static IP Problems in the Future
To minimize risks:
- Use an IP address table
- Follow a consistent addressing scheme
- Test changes on a single device first
- Avoid changing everything at once
- Save backup network settings
A systematic approach significantly reduces the number of failures.
Using Set Miners Static IP Tools Safely
For safe configuration, it is recommended to:
- Prepare the IP range in advance
- Check device accessibility
- Perform configuration step by step
- Monitor the results
Set Miners Static IP Tools helps centralize the process and reduce the risk of manual errors.
When to Reconfigure the Network
You should consider a full network reconfiguration if:
- IP addresses constantly conflict
- A complex VLAN structure is used
- DHCP works unstably
- There is no unified IP addressing scheme
In such cases, network optimization improves the stability of the entire mining farm.
