The AntRouter R1-LTC is a wireless networking device containing a litecoin/scrypt mining chip. The R1 is preconfigured to mine on AntPool’s solo mode, meaning that as long as the device is powered, you are competing for a chance to solve a block and win about the entire block reward of 25 litecoins.
The R1 has several main functions:
General Wireless Router
Keep the R1 plugged in at home for use as a standard wireless router, keeping your phones and computers connected to the internet at home or at the office.
Mini WiFi Access Point
Connect your R1 to a router, hub, or any available internet access with cable, and R1 can turn cabled internet access into wireless. This is the default operation mode of R1.
High Speed USB Charger
Using a USB cable, connect your mobile device to the R1 to charge it. Android phones, iPhones, and tablets are supported.
Litecoin Mining Host
The R1 can also be used as a controller to manage and run several AntMiner U3s. Connecting your U3 to the AntRouter R1 via a USB hub eliminates the need to keep the U3 plugged into your computer.

Happy with product. Great customer service and support, a problem fixed.
I purchased a bitaxe with upgrades from BitcoinMerch for over $300 USD ($400+ AUD) including shipping to Australia. I had an issue with the unit as it was faulty... It took a little bit to sort it out but once I was in contact with Albert Perales, he sorted out the issue very fast with a replacement and a refund for the return postage. I was quite abrupt and irate but Albert was calm and awesome to deal with. He single-handedly has restored my faith in BitCoinMerch. Great support and customer service!! Even if slightly complex and slower than i would have liked, BitcoinMerch is to be trusted and they do the right thing by their customers. Thanks Albert and BitcoinMerch
best way to get into mining if you cant afford the power bills of big miners.

Silent usb miner
This was my first purchase. It runs 24/7 and doesn’t make noise. I am not expecting much out of this device but who knows?

Nifty little device
I’m happy with the bit axe. It’s the best value usb miner on here for a couple hundred bucks. It hashes consistently just a little under 1th/s. I run it 24/7. I was given two minimalist stands with a previous purchase and so this gift encouraged me to buy the device. I opted for the premium quiet fan upgrade. The heat sink was not an option at the time. I’m not sure what to do because it seems the premium fan was already installed and the stock fan is included. I’ve been meaning to reach out to support and figure out if both fans should be connected. How do I mount the second fan?
