Basically, you have three options:

1) Wait. It will eventually get to 32, but for how long is anybody's guess. Maybe a minute, maybe more, maybe less.
2) Increase your Max Connections if you want more than 31/32. However, I've seen that it will just as often stay one under even then: 37/38 - 41/42, etc.
3) Go to https://bitnodes.io/ and find some juicy nodes to add to your list using the addnode=IPADDRESS:8333 command. I've found this will usually max out my connection choice: 32/32 - 42/42, etc.

Cheers!
Thank you for response. However, I am ok with the number of outgoing connection. My issue is that there is NO incomming connections, so the numer 32 is grayed out. How can I make sure that I there are incoming connections?

I believed your mistaken as mine is greyed out, but the second number is just your maxed amount of connections you will make. You can look up your node on bitnodes.io using your IP but if your 32/32 then it will show unreachable because your already max at 32 connections with other nodes, check it again if you drop below 32 (31/32) and it should show reachable then.
