Once logged in, you will see the dashboard, displaying hash rate, temperature, and system status.
Step 4: Configuring Wi-Fi (Optional)
The ElphaPex DG Home 1 supports Wi-Fi. If you don't have an Ethernet cable, you can click the Wi-Fi button in the left-hand menu. Switch Wi-Fi to "On," select your network, and then enter the password.
Step 5: Configure Mining Pool Settings
- Go to the "Miner" or "Mining" tab in the dashboard.
- Add Pool Address: Enter the stratum address of your chosen pool (e.g., stratum+tcp://pooladdress:port).
- Enter Worker Name: Use the format Your WalletAddress.WorkerName or Your PoolUsername.WorkerName.
- Password: Usually "x" or left blank.
- Save: Click "Save & Apply". The miner will restart and begin mining within a few minutes.
Step 6: Start Mining and Verify Operation
Dashboard: Check real-time hash rate and temperatures on the "Dashboard" page.
How to set up overclocking mode on Elphapex DG Home 1?
To set up OverClock mode, there are generally two main methods. However, overclocking also increases power consumption, heat generation, and hardware stress, so it should be done carefully—especially in a home environment.

3. Open Configuration Panel
Go to RemoteCtrl or Miner Config in the top menu.
4. Switch Work Mode
Under Mode / Work Mode, change from Work to OverClock.
5. Apply Settings
Click Save or Update. The miner will reboot automatically and load overclock parameters (about 3–5 minutes).
Method 2: Using the Web Control Panel
1. Log in to Web Interface
Enter the miner’s IP address in a browser.
2. Open Settings
Navigate to Miner or Settings.
3. Change Working Mode
Locate Working Mode and select OverClock.
4. Save and Reboot
Click Save & Apply and wait for the miner to restart.
CONCLUSION
Setting up the DG Home 1 is a straightforward process that can be completed in under 30 minutes. With proper configuration and a suitable environment, it can serve as a reliable home miner for Dogecoin and Litecoin.
