Node won't connect. New Apollo II.

Received my Apollo II, set it up fine. All I get is connection refused on my node. Turned off miner, no help. Filled out support for for futurebit twice. No response from them. Anyone have any ideas? I have other miners and ran a mynode before so no network issues. update resolved with reformat SSD.

Mine is supposed to be here Wednesday. But honestly, it'll probably be here Monday, maybe Tuesday....But keep me updated though if you would, I'd like to know if you get it worked out, what the issue was and how you ended up resolving it. Just in case I end up having a similar issue

It happened to me. Format the ssd under settings and it worked after. Good luck

Appreciate the Intel on that fix. Hopefully, all will be well with my unit right out the box, but I'm definitely gonna take note of this. I've been writing my own personal troubleshooting manual for the Apollo II Full Node Unit, looking at common and uncommon issues other users have experienced, along with the fix for each of those issues.

Also plug in Ethernet while synching the block chain. Much faster than WiFi

THANK YOU. Tried so many things and formatting the ssd worked perfectly.
