Unboxing the HL 100
The excitement begins as soon as you open the box! The HL 100 package includes the miner itself, a power adapter, a 3 DBi antenna, and a power cable. Notably, an ethernet cable isn’t included, so you’ll need to have one on hand to connect to the internet. The inclusion of a 3 DBi antenna aims to provide broad coverage over distance, optimizing the miner’s performance in most scenarios.
Additional items you’ll need (not included):
- An Ethernet cable for connection (an ethernet cable is required to connect the HL100 to your router).
- A smartphone to help with onboarding your miner after equipment setup
Setting Up the HL 100
Setting up the HL 100 is straightforward, making it accessible even to those new to helium mining. You’ll need a few essentials not included in the box: an Ethernet cable and your smartphone. The device features a user-friendly design with a USB power port, an antenna connector, an Ethernet port, a reset button, and status LEDs.
After connecting the hotspot to your router and powering it up, the HL 100 will likely undergo an automatic software update. The ideal placement for the device is near a window or on an elevated surface to ensure optimal mining results. Keep it away from any metal mesh, such as a window screen. The setup process is rounded off by downloading the Helium Wallet app and using your smartphone to onboard the device, a process made easy through a QR code and mobile-only site navigation.

FAQs about the HL100
Yes, there’s a one-year warranty. More information on your warranty can be found in the manual.
One of the main benefits of the HL100 is that there is zero maintenance involved. The HL100 auto updates its software. You don’t have to keep checking.
No. After you set it up, only you can use it. Helium mining uses strong encryption and your HNT wallet is also protected with a special 12-word phrase.
Keep it online always and make sure it has a stable internet connection. Choose the best antenna based on where you are and how many other hotspots are nearby. Remember, too many hotspots close together might reduce how much you earn.
When Helium did their big network upgrade in 2023, a new reward structure was introduced. Now, each network running on Helium is rewarded with protocol tokens that are specific to that network. For the IoT segment of the network, this means earning Helium IOT protocol tokens instead of HNT.
To onboard the HL100 you’ll need to use our Onboarding Web App at https://onboarding.smartharvest.ca/ alongside the Helium Wallet App. Check out our quickstart video for more details: https://youtu.be/Nd-bBgaEhuk
The HL100 cannot be onboarded with bluetooth and just the Helium Wallet App. You’ll need to use our Onboarding Web App at https://onboarding.smartharvest.ca/ alongside the Helium Wallet App.

If you saw a “Hotspot Onboarded!” message in the Smart Harvest Onboarding Web App, then your HL100 has been successfully onboarded.
The message will look something like this.
Check your network configuration on your modem or router. If there are any settings like “don’t allow communication between devices on the network”, disable that setting and try onboarding again.
If you’re using the Moken or Hotspotty Explorers to check on the hotspot, it might take a day or two for them to show the hotspot online. As far as we know, they don’t update in 100% real-time.
If it’s still showing as offline in 2 or 3 days, please get in touch with us.
