Issue: 10/32 Connections

Sorry for asking about this, but I'm not finding an answer within the forum. I've set up my Apollo II and it is performing the initial sync. I have opened up port 8333, and validated using an external connection the port is open. I am still only showing 10/32 connections on a solid gigabit ISP. Is there anything I can do to increase the connections? I'm connected using wired ethernet.

Thank you for your time.
