Please check that your node has at least 15 peers. To monitor your peer count, pay attention to the [`Slot start` messages in your logs](keep-an-eye.md#keep-track-of-your-syncing-progress). See the [networking page](networking.md) for more tips.
We recommend [setting up a systemd service](beacon-node-systemd.md) with an autorestart on boot (should you experience an unexpected power outage, this will ensure your validator restarts correctly).
