I can't reach one of my FutureBit Apollo FullNode with LAN.
I 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?

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?

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.)

Thx for your answers

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

This is because both interfaces are left "on" by the linux system when you use both LAN and wifi... the Web UI does not know how to deal with that currently. You need to log into the system via a monitor, and turn off the interface you are not using (drop down on the upper right corner of the desktop).

@jstefanop: This can't be correct:

Yea internal error usually has to do with no network connection, so your wifi is probably not connecting. Make sure you connecting to 2.4GHz network instead of 5 for better range

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"

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

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:

SD Card Flash Instructions:

    Download image linked above, verify SHASUM is correct
    Decompress the image (should have just a .img extension when its done full size ~7GB when decompressed)
    Use an easy cloner tool like etcher (etcher.io) or dd etc if your know what your doing
    Insert SD card in your computer, select the the decompressed apollo.img file, and select the SD card you inserted
    Flash away...this will return your SD card back to stock state

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? Smiley
