Help adding connections

Hey guys I am syncing my full node on Bitcoin Core on Mac.

Of course it takes a long time, which is expected. I'm about 50% of the way through after about 2 weeks.

However when I go to the information tab I see I only have 2 connections... I was under the impression I would get 8. I assume this is part of the reason this is taking so long.

I tried "addnode" and "addconnection" but neither seem to work.

What am I doing wrong, and what can I do to get to at least 8 connections?

OR, would more connections even help?

Thanks!

No, Bitcoin is not controlled by a small group of investors and miners (A rebuttal to the TechSpot article)

Day 9: I will post this guide regularly until available solutions like SegWit, order batching, and Lightning payment channels are mass adopted, the mempool is empty once again, and tx fees are low. Have you done your part?
