Today I install and test a LAN (Ethernet) mod on my NerdQaxe++ solo Bitcoin miner to see if wired internet actually improves latency and mining performance.
We compare WiFi vs Ethernet ping times while mining to a local Bitcoin Cash node, and the results are exactly what youโd expectโฆ but with some interesting real-world numbers.
๐ก In this video:
– Full LAN mod installation walkthrough
– Firmware flashing guide (ESP32 / web flasher)
– WiFi vs Ethernet latency comparison
– Real mining test to local node
– Is the upgrade worth it?
Big thanks to Crypto Machine Shop for sending over the LAN mod!
โก Key Results:
– WiFi latency: ~2.5โ3 ms
– Ethernet latency: ~1.5โ1.6 ms
– More stable connection + fewer packet drops
๐ญ My Take:
If youโre serious about solo mining or running stable rigs, wired Ethernet is absolutely the way to go.
