I can't reach one of my FutureBit Apollo FullNode with Ethernet LAN.
It does not appear in Portscanner. It was 2 weeks not in operation, before it worked fine.
The other two Fullnodes appear in Portscanner.
What is my problem?



edits
- Reset of Router, no success
- Turn On/Off FullNode, no sucess

How do i use comman line?

And plz another question: What should i do with the Node Dashboard? At the end its like a rudimentar Bitcoin Wallet like from Bitcoin.org?

Is there a possibility to add a stronger and longer Wifi antenna?

I think this is the original Wifi antenna, red marked?
Is there a possibility to add an extra antenna on this connections, red marked?

To put the antenna a little bit out of the metal box, its possible, but in this cause not really a solution.

I ask, because one of the Apollo Futurebit Master Miner with 2 Slaves is behind a Fire Door and there i have no good Wifi connection. Sometimes it works, sometimes not (~15-20% connection quality.)

But it would be for me easily to put a cable under the Fire Door.....

Thx for your answers

@jstefanop: Thx, you are my hero! It works now perfect, but this fact was in no manual

PS: Another question to you: Is this system working from Slushpool.com with Apollo Futurebit Miners, do give all Master an extra name?

@jstefanop: This can't be correct:

Because one of the Miner ist always on LAN, an when i connect to LAN or Wifi IP Adress, there is always this "internal message error"

After Update to v3.2 (all via LAN-cable) there is on every Full-Node Machine, following message:


I own:

- One single Full-Node
- Two Full-Node with 2 USB-Devices

What does it mean?

The single Full-Node is connected via LAN, everyhing is fine
The other two are connected via Wifi, its seems to work, but i can't reach Miner via Wifi anymore, but Wifi is good. Via LAN no problem.

In System Info it shoes me:


But the Front lights of machine show me blinking: work is fine
Where is the problem?

I can connect to my Wifi, but after using the "Wifi-IP", nothing works. After reboot in System-Info is always: No active Wifi

PS: Maybe the wifi-antenna is to weak, i put it a little bit out of machine, is there a possibility to make it longer or to change it? The single Fullnode-Miner with LAN is directly to the router, i can connect dashboard with Wifi no problem. The other machines are not fare away. Amazon_Fire_Stick for TV, MobilePhone etc. all works fine, but not Dashboard via Wifi

Problems with 2 Full Node Miners: The only way reflash SD-Card?

Hello Dudes,
i have problems with 2 Apolloe Futurebit Full Node miner, but i think the solution is only to reflash the sd-card.

- Miner01: I bought it used in eBay, the seller can't tell me the LogIn-PW for Dashboard configuration. Is it possible to recover the PW or do i have to reflash it?

- Miner02: Everything worked fine. After a router configuration, but this could be a conicidene, Wifi Connection through Dahsboard was no more possible.
Then i turn off the miner directly with power supply, not how is recommended over Dashboard "Shut Down".
After this it was no more connection with eth0 possible, with a portscanner also no possibility to get the correct IP.
Sometimes wifi works after reboot, but no direct connection via eth0 possible anymore.
This i bad, because i have to reach Dashboard with eth0 normally.
I think i have damaged the sd-card, correct? I changed sd-card with Miner01, there i can see hardware is not damaged (connection with wifi sometimes possible with eth0 not)
But eth0 hardware works for sure on Miner01 (where i have no possibility to LogIn, but i can connect via eth0).
Another question: By Miner02 i can't see via LogIn HDMI-TV screen the 500GB SSD, but hardware is in Miner. Defect or also a problem with configuration sd-card?
The RAW-Status always writes new things when i check it.

- Generall question: Are only this SanDisk Industrial cards 16GB recommended or can use for example a SanDisk Ultra MicroSD Class 10?

Are this problems, i describe, known?
Solutions?

Thx for reading and your help
Gr€€tz Bosiman

PS: Short question, if  i really have to reflash:


Under Windows_10:
- Which programm do i need to verify SHASUM? With WinRar 5.x possible?
- Easyer way to flash .img on a sd-card is "etcher" or "dd" the easiest possibility, Which one is easier?
