We recommend using a surge protector or UPS to prevent damage from power fluctuations.
🌐 Finding Your Miner’s IP Address
🛠 Option 1: Use IceRiver IP Reporter Tool
- Download it from iceriver.eu/firmware-download
- Run the app and press the physical IP button on your miner
- The software will display the assigned IP address
🔍 Option 2: Check via Router
- Log into your router admin panel (usually 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1)
- Go to “Connected Devices” or “DHCP Clients”
- Look for the device labeled “IceRiver-AE1 Lite”
🧠 Logging In and Accessing the Dashboard
Once you have the IP:
- Open it in your browser (e.g., http://192.168.88.101)
-
Login with default credentials:
- Username: admin
- Password: 12345678
You’ll now see your dashboard where you can monitor and configure the miner.
