<\/p>\nPerforming a Bitaxe factory reset may sound drastic, but in practice it\u2019s routine. Whether you\u2019re setting up a new Bitaxe, restoring your miner to factory settings, or recovering from a failed firmware update: after a Bitaxe factory reset, you\u2019ll start with a clean slate. This is the complete guide to setting up your Bitaxe after a reset, from flashing the firmware to your first share on the mining pool.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A Bitaxe factory reset followed by a fresh installation takes about 15 minutes.<\/p>\n
If the Bitaxe is still accessible on your network, this is the easiest way. Open the web interface using your miner\u2019s IP address, go to the settings page, and look for the option to perform a factory reset or restore default settings. The Bitaxe will clear its configuration and restart in access point mode, ready to be set up again.<\/p>\n
If the web interface is not reachable, or if you also want to update the firmware, use the Bitaxe Web Flasher on our site<\/a>. This is the method for a completely clean start: both firmware and configuration are erased.<\/p>\n What you need:<\/p>\n Follow the steps in Web Flasher: connect, choose a model, select the firmware version, and flash. After flashing, restart the Bitaxe in access point mode.<\/p>\n After a Bitaxe factory reset or a new firmware flash, the Bitaxe will start up as its own Wi-Fi access point. On your phone or laptop, look for a Wi-Fi network with a name like Bitaxe-XXXX<\/strong> (with a unique number). Connect to it, without a password.<\/p>\n Then open a browser and go to On the configuration page, you enter the name (SSID) and password of your home network. Note:<\/p>\n After saving the Wi-Fi settings, the Bitaxe will restart and connect to your home network. Open your router or use a network scanner (such as Fing on your phone) to find the miner\u2019s IP address. You can then access the AxeOS web interface using that IP address.<\/p>\n This is the core of the configuration after a Bitaxe factory reset: without pool settings, you won't be able to mine anything. In the AxeOS web interface, go to the settings and fill in the following fields:<\/p>\n The Stratum URL is the address of your mining pool. The port is a number, often 3333 or 3334. Examples of popular pools:<\/p>\n On most pools, the username is your bitcoin address (where you want to receive your payouts), followed by a period and a worker name. Example: At most pools the password is After a Bitaxe factory reset, the frequency and voltage settings revert to their default values. These default values are intentionally set conservatively to ensure stability. You can increase them to boost the hashrate, but do so gradually.<\/p>\n For the Bitaxe Gamma:<\/p>\n After setup, you can check the following in the AxeOS web interface:<\/p>\n Make sure you've selected the 2.4 GHz network and not the 5 GHz network. Also try restarting the router. If the Bitaxe still doesn't appear, reset it again and repeat the Wi-Fi setup step.<\/p>\n Check that the Stratum URL and port are entered correctly. Watch out for any spaces before or after the URL. Try a different pool if the first one does not work.<\/p>\n This may be due to a frequency setting that is too low (everything is set to default after a reset), a poor WiFi connection, or an issue with the chip. First, check the frequency setting and the WiFi signal strength.<\/p>\n This indicates a corrupted firmware installation. Flash again via the Bitaxe Web Flasher<\/a> and check if you have a stable USB connection.<\/p>\n Wait 30 to 60 seconds after the reset. It takes a moment for the ESP32 to boot up and for the access point to activate. Also, make sure the Bitaxe is powered via the power adapter, not just via USB.<\/p>\n Yes, the local statistics (uptime, shares, best difficulty) will be deleted. The statistics tracked by your pool will be preserved as long as you continue to use the same bitcoin address.<\/p>\n Yes. If the firmware is already on the device and the Bitaxe boots up in access point mode, you can go directly to step 1 (Set up Wi-Fi) without flashing. Flashing is only necessary if the firmware is missing, corrupted, or if you want to install a specific version.<\/p>\n Typically 30 to 90 seconds via the Web Flasher. Make sure not to interrupt the USB connection during this process.<\/p>\n Ocean.xyz is a good choice for bitcoin miners who value transparency and don\u2019t want a KYC requirement. Solo CK Pool is the option if you really want to mine solo for a full block reward. Braiins Pool works well for those who want additional statistics via Stratum V2.<\/p>\n Want to learn more about a Bitaxe factory reset or need help setting it up?

Step 1: Connect to the Bitaxe Wi-Fi access point<\/h2>\n
192.168.4.1<\/code>. This is your miner's AxeOS configuration page. Here, you can configure the Wi-Fi settings so that the Bitaxe connects to your home network.<\/p>\nStep 2: Set up WiFi network<\/h2>\n
\n
Step 3: Setting up the mining pool<\/h2>\n
Stratum URL and port<\/h3>\n
\n
stratum+tcp:\/\/mine.ocean.xyz:3334<\/code><\/li>\nstratum+tcp:\/\/solo.ckpool.org:3333<\/code><\/li>\nstratum+tcp:\/\/stratum.braiins.com:3333<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nWorker name (username)<\/h3>\n
bc1qyouraddresshere.bitaxe-gamma<\/code>. The worker name can be chosen freely and is used for identification if you are running multiple miners.<\/p>\nPassword<\/h3>\n
x<\/code> or you can leave it blank. Check the documentation of your chosen pool.<\/p>\nStep 4: Check frequency and voltage<\/h2>\n
\n
Step 5: Check to see if everything is working after the Bitaxe factory reset<\/h2>\n
