Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
Bitaxe devices are only compatible with 2.4GHz Wi-Fi networks. They do not support 5GHz networks, so you may need to manually switch your connection during setup.
First, connect your computer or phone directly to the Bitaxe Wi-Fi network (e.g., Bitaxe_XXXX). Then, open a web browser and enter the default IP address 192.168.4.1. Disable cellular data if the page fails to load.
Certain Wi-Fi routers (such as ASUS or TP-Link) have features like AiProtection or IoT security that block Stratum connections. You may need to disable these security features in your router to allow mining.
Use the web flasher tool, uncheck the 'keep configuration' box, and proceed to update the firmware. This will clear existing settings and reset the miner to factory defaults.
This error usually indicates a loose screen connection, loose power connection, overheating, or a firmware issue. Re-seat the screen, verify power cables, and consider reflashing the firmware if the problem persists.
