So I have set up a geth node and beacon node on a server, as this is required post merge. My beacon node is fully synced:
Upon the call  curl p://localhost:3500/eth/v1alpha1/node/eth1/connections
I get the response:
{“currentAddress”:“://localhost:8551”, “currentConnectionError”:“no contract code at given address”, “addresses”:[tlocalhost:8551"], “connectionErrors”:}
This suggests my Geth node is not synced:
Upon eth.syncing I get the response:
currentBlock: 16421601,
healedBytecodeBytes: 0,
healedBytecodes: 0,
healedTrienodeBytes: 0,
healedTrienodes: 0,
healingBytecode: 0,
healingTrienodes: 0,
highestBlock: 16421692,
startingBlock: 0,
syncedAccountBytes: 5827139183,
syncedAccounts: 23719401,
syncedBytecodeBytes: 729713789,
syncedBytecodes: 125063,
syncedStorage: 103229063,
syncedStorageBytes: 22400879956
The current block when called is 16421693
However, in my geth node output logs I get this:

This leads me to believe im not synced for circa 230h. Is this correct, I am only a few blocks behind now, could someone indicate what its doing now and how long it will take until fully synced and operational?
