Greetings,

I recently moved to a new apartment and switched from Spectrum to AT&T (Modem/Router BGW320-505). I remembered that I need to configure my port forwarding but I am having difficulty activating a wired connection. WiFi seems to work, albeit slowly. Can someone please advise?

I get the following message: "Connection failed. Activation of network connection failed."

I've tried manually entering the MAC Address of the modem/router into a New Profile after clicking the "+" symbol under Wired Network. The page closes, I get the same message as above and the blue toggle switch is in the OFF (left) position.

I've also gone into my NAT/Gaming Firewall settings to open 8333 port to no avail. The same issue persists.






Thank you for your help!

If I were to use an extra USB hub, what is the max number of standard units one full package can handle at any given time?

• Do NOT hard shutdown your system while the node is running (ie press the off button on your power supply). You should always shutdown your system via the shutdown menu in the Apollo Dashboard, or via the Desktop. This will ensure your node saves the chain state properly and does not corrupt the node, or your SD card
• The node should automatically configure your router to open port 8333 via UPnP, and you should see more than 8 connections in your dashboard. If it stays on 8, this means you need to manually open the port to your Apollos IP address in your router port forwarding rules. This will help count your node as a public node, help other nodes sync, and further decentralize the Bitcoin network.

I made the mistake of performing a hard shutdown 5+ times while the node was running. Temp reading was working normally after first few boots.

Now, dashboard under Miner reads:

"There is a problem fetching system stats (Internal error)."

2.36 Th/s 0.00°C Balanced Mode. Internal temp. reads 0 degree C at very top of dashboard. Update: temperature reading operational elsewhere in system stats.

Fan seems to be working.

Front LED flashes red once per second. Seems to be mining and generating revenue according to pool account (.94 cents so far).

30 / 32 Connections  --- is this abnormally low after port forwarding?

Could someone please confirm External AND Internal Port is 8333? TCP? UDP? Or TCP+UDP? Update: Seems to be functioning on TCP w/ 8333 for both internal + external.

Bitcoin Core v22.0.0

Insights greatly appreciated.

THANK YOU.
