I think more importantly the right kind of processors are needed to achieve the badges. An AMD GPU, NV GPU, a CPU to run each of them on Windows/Linux, Android device and miner to run BTC when it was running. Some apps are only available on certain devices can that can inhibit the # of. The number of processors can inhibit the badge level though.

Thanks for your advice, to be clear, both the routers I am using (Netgears) are hard wired to give out a maximum of 32 wifi addresses per channel. I know that if you are using ethernet cables then the limit as you say is 253. Yes, the range the Netgear routers run is 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.255, the other router I have is a TPLink which has an address of 192.168.1.1. I've run a few checks using IP scanner and this can see the Router but if I type in 192.168.1.1 then I can't access it to change anything. Now then, when my Internet was upgraded to Fibre To Cabinet this router no longer worked so I had to purchase the Netgear routers. The strange thing is though that I was able to plug it in to the new Netgear router and it worked just fine then when we had a power outage a few months ago it reverted to 192.168.1.1 and I've no idea how to get into the router to change the parameters. I also dug out an old Netgear WAP which should have an address of 192.168.0.227 but this shows up as 192.168.1.227 and I can't access it...As my wife made me remove all of my ethernet cables and hubs a while ago I started using Powerline connectors but since the power cut one of them no longer works, shrug.
One other option I have is to get a Hauwei internet box but these only support 10 connections and cost around £30 a month.

Some years ago I was running 20+ PC's all with NVidia GPU's. From 2003 till 2007 I was running Folding@Home then late 2006 I started running Boinc. Massive electric bill around £600 ($900) per month. Started running Androids in 2015 and now have a huge farm of them. I only have 2 PC's running now plus a few laptops and of course the Androids and the bill is down to £115! I would add more Android tablets but I'm close to the limit on what my WiFi can handle.

Is it the bandwidth or your network, because if it's the network you can always get a cheap wifi router and add a 2nd network. OTH if it's the total bandwidth you are sorta stuck unless you live near a wifi hotspot or open one.

If you have problem with bandwidth of your home WiFi router and not connection to your internet provider, you can try connecting your Android devices by cable. I know that there are special USB-Ethernet adapters to do this like mentioned in this article, you can try using them: https://www.wirelesshack.org/how-to-connect-a-android-to-wired-ethernet-connection.html

Not the bandwidth but the fact that I've run out of IP addresses. I have a dual band Modem router and a triple band router. These are both limited to 32 channels per band. There's plenty of empty channels on the high speed band but I've used all 64 channels on the low speed bands. Not all to Androids but to a mixture of other wifi devices, I have tons of them like for example I have 2 wifi boosters, an alexa, 4 smart TV's 2 wireless printers, etc. I do have another dual band modem router but I haven't figured out why it always gets an IP address that isn't in the right range for me to access it. So, I can add more Androids but they have to be dual speed and not all of them are.

I've had an account for a few years now, but I noticed that if you're logged out, there doesn't seem to be any way to create a new account here. There's no link on the front page to make a new account, and the log in prompt doesn't have a "Create an account" link either.

So if you didn't have an account here already...how exactly would you create one?

Sometimes I've gotten apps not available as a selection by selecting CPU only, the Gamma-ray pulsar binary search #1 (GPU) app and then checking test apps. It didn't work this time so I allowed the Open Data app and Allow non-preferred apps. I got mostly the Engineering app, 32 of 33 tasks.

Edit: I also haven't seen the Android RakeSearch app mentioned above by mmonnin. I know Daniel made a Linux ARM app. mmonnin do you have the link? I'm assuming Android is what you meant since the OP was talking about BOINC for Android. If not, then please disregard.

If it hasn't aborted let it go. They can take many months. Mine sat at 99% for months so yeah the ETA just kept climbing. The one I completed had quite a few millions of seconds already attempted on it before I became the wingman as it had been created in 2013. 3.9k hours for my 1 task.

Some of these tasks are really long. I crunch one for over 400 days now, and have no idea how much long it may take.

I highly doubt that Wu will ever finish, mine reached 100% maybe 100 days ago & then dropped back to 98.65% & hasn't moved off that since ... Other than running them for the Hr's there's no reason to run them ...

Yes, these WUs behave in this way. They hit 100% and immediately drop back to ~98%. Then they go up and drop again. On RNA forum there is thread about such "monster" WUs, you may take a look there.

Some people collects projects for their signatures, so they would have to complete successfully at least one WU from project to add it there.

RNA WU finally did error out at some time in the last few days, I just noticed it was gone this morning. I did get over 5100 Hr's on it & 56k in credits to put me over 500k for the project so all wasn't lost anyway ...

Does anyone know the requirement for receiving tasks at Prediction? I can't seem to get any.
