Port forwarding is tied to specific internal IP address, if you switch to wifi youll get another IP address which will break that port forward. There are router settings that will tie your device to a specific IP address though.

BTW now that both Batch 1 and 2 are shipped open those ports up! Very few public Apollo nodes, we should be the #1 or #2 node on the network by now!

Hi John -

Static IPs were assigned in both cases and the rules were modified to ensure the port allocation was tied to the appropriate IP for the machine.  Apparently, for some odd reason, I no longer see the error.  Perhaps it took time for the inbound/outbound assignment to stick (which is weird).

Either way, the node is currently at 31/32 connections with no errors, so I'll take it.  No real difference noted on the pool's (slushpool) hashrate since switching to WiFi... Perhaps a smidge lower.

Thanks again!
