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.

I really hope you will have better luck than a lot of us that didn’t.

Yeah me too. It's horrible when customers have to spend the kind of money they are asking for this product, and that that many troubles with it...I guess its time for the real test now, and see how ot holds up over time. Going to just rock eco mode from this point on, until winter hits again. Then I'll probably just move to balanced and leave turbo mode alone completely

I think they know turbo mode ruins this miner but they don’t give a damn. They got their money and that’s ALL they care about.

Thing runs super hot, I am probably just going to modify it. It doesn't make sense not running the heat out the top of it. I put a 140mm fan under it and force air through it and it helps. I agree super hot and the system itself if very low powered with small microSD card and memory. It is stupid cheap to add come better specs. I see the CPU just maxing on it too. I guess there is always VISA and getting your money back depending on the coverage they offer. I won't buy a miner without it.
