Has anyone seen this NAS problem before? NAS is Synology 918+. I am just using it for storage; core is a NUC running ROCK.
After more than a year of reliable use, the NAS was disconnected. (My son was moving out and removed his stuff, disconnecting the NAS in the process.) When I tried to reconnect, I had problems.
The NAS is hard-wired, connected directly to the router, I generally access via a MacBook Pro, via Wi-Fi. But all audio devices are hardwired, too.
My MacBook Pro can see and connect to the NAS in the finder. I can copy files.
Same network? Same box? Same WiFi network?
If you cannot access it, to me it means: not internet.
Do you have any other devices in WiFi at home or hardwired and can you access it?
Yes but I was not sure about your wired connections
I assumed the Mac was Ethernet too…
If nothing has changed…I am clueless, I would reboot everything first then keep asking for help…
Sorry
Daniel, thanks. The IP address is assigned by the router–although as has just been pointed out to me in an email, the one displayed in Synology Assistant is wrong.
I’m about to mark the problem “solved”, however, and the solution is weird: I’ve long distrusted the cheap-assed Ethernet cable that came with the box; I just replaced it with one of good quality. And when I did, my NAS showed up.
