Hello everyone,

I’m having an issue with my HYFIX MGW310 after moving it to a new location and I’d appreciate some guidance.

Background

  • The unit was working correctly before relocation

  • During the move, power and Ethernet cables were unplugged and reconnected

  • After relocation, the miner shows offline in Wingbits

Current symptoms

  • Power LED (red) ON

  • PPS/GPS LED (green) ON

  • Status LED (yellow) ON solid

  • No Wi-Fi AP broadcast (MGW310_XXXXXX does not appear)

  • No Ethernet link: when connecting the MGW310 to any router, the LAN port LED does not light up

  • Because of this, the MGW310 never receives an IP address

  • WebUI is not accessible via Wi-Fi or Ethernet

Troubleshooting already done

  • Multiple power cycles (including long waits)

  • Forced AP reset attempts (power cycling sequences)

  • Tested with different Ethernet ports

  • Confirmed the unit boots normally (LEDs indicate full boot)

  • Tried accessing WebUI by:

    • Direct Ethernet to router (no link)

    • macOS Internet Sharing (Wi-Fi → Ethernet) using a USB-Ethernet adapter

      • Ethernet interface stays Not Connected

      • MGW310 does not obtain an IP

  • Antenna is properly connected at all times (never powered without antenna)

Current conclusion

The MGW310 appears to be **stuck in a network state where it neither:

  • falls back to AP mode

  • nor brings up the Ethernet interface**

This makes it impossible to access the WebUI and force “Go To AP Mode”.

Questions

  1. Is there a documented recovery procedure for MGW310 when:

    • AP mode does not appear

    • Ethernet link never comes up?

  2. Is there a firmware recovery / hard reset method available?

  3. Could this indicate a faulty Ethernet interface or cable assembly, even though the unit otherwise boots correctly?

Any guidance from HYFIX, Wingbits, or other MGW310 operators would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
