Re: Official FutureBit Apollo BTC Software/Image and Support thread
Greetings,
I recently moved to a new apartment and switched from Spectrum to AT&T (Modem/Router BGW320-505). I remembered that I need to configure my port forwarding but I am having difficulty activating a wired connection. WiFi seems to work, albeit slowly. Can someone please advise?
I get the following message: "Connection failed. Activation of network connection failed."
I've tried manually entering the MAC Address of the modem/router into a New Profile after clicking the "+" symbol under Wired Network. The page closes, I get the same message as above and the blue toggle switch is in the OFF (left) position.
I've also gone into my NAT/Gaming Firewall settings to open 8333 port to no avail. The same issue persists.

Re: Official FutureBit Apollo BTC Software/Image and Support thread
Dr. J!!!....my man...the boys arrived beautifully and I have hooked them up to the initial apollo unit I had running...only thing is I am still trying to figure out how to get the two new miners up and running...lol...any advice would be appreciated...regardless bro...a big thanks to you and the crew there at Futurebit...you guys really do an awesome job please please keep up the great work... 
Just reach out via email if your having any issues. If you got two extra standard units just shutdown your full node, plug in the new units to their power supplies and the USB cable to the back of the main unit, fire up the full node and it should auto recognize them and start mining. Keep in mind you might need an extra USB hub if you have more than 2.
If I were to use an extra USB hub, what are the max number of standard units one full package can handle at any given time?
Re: Official FutureBit Apollo BTC Software/Image and Support thread
- Do NOT hard shutdown your system while the node is running (ie press the off button on your power supply). You should always shutdown your system via the shutdown menu in the Apollo Dashboard, or via the Desktop. This will ensure your node saves the chain state properly and does not corrupt the node, or your SD card
- The node should automatically configure your router to open port 8333 via UPnP, and you should see more than 8 connections in your dashboard. If it stays on 8, this means you need to manually open the port to your Apollos IP address in your router port forwarding rules. This will help count your node as a public node, help other nodes sync, and further decentralize the Bitcoin network.

I made the mistake of performing a hard shutdown 5+ times while the node is running. Currently 680,559 / 718,920 Syncing Blocks / Block Sync Progress: 94.66% (Day 1.75).
Node 10 / 32 Connections. Unable to open 8333 port because setting not available on Spectrum router settings.
Dashboard under Miner reads:
"There is a problem fetching system stats (Internal error)."
IP address of miner no longer shows in Spectrum device list.
I think I just forced myself into a SD re-flash to stock state.
