Hi, I just had my new Umbrel home but, since the begening, every 12 hours the number of peers drops to 1 and the node becomes out-of-sync with network. I just installed bitcoin node, electrum and mempool. Any idea? ---

I have the same issue. Everytime I check the status I need to restart the Umbrel for the BTC node to sync up. ---

I was having the same issues and I reached out and they told me to turn on the betaOS option and update to umbrelOS 1.2 Beta 1 and I haven’t had issues since. Also, if I’m not using any apps. I’ll stop them until I need them so they don’t take up any memory or CPU space. ![Screenshot 2024-06-13 at 5.51.30 PM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/getumbrel/original/2X/a/a30e9ff42d012d6dee5595a427d3b22a820e4825.png) ---

Thanks. I discovered this by accident last night when I upgraded to get the wifi set up. ---

Awesome! Let me know how it goes. I might try the WiFi set up soon since the lights on the back of the ethernet port light up the room at night since I keep it pretty dark. 😅 ---

Looks better than yesterday!!! The beta 1 has a problem to connect with node through TOR. The beta 2 fixed it. ---
