I am trying to make a bitcoin miner in my basement where the modem is. The modem only has one ethernet port so I can't put both my miner and ethernet to upstairs router at the same time. That's when I used a gigabit switch. I've used this before and it will work, but with the miner and the long ethernet cable to the router and the miner just won't work properly. If I use the router-cable first, then it'll just only run the router and the not the miner even though both activity lights are on and vice-versa. I also tried it on 2 other of my switches but it still has the same result.
Is there a way to fix this?
