Configure NAS
Hi everyone, I´ve been using a shared hard disk in my local network and this is my very first time using a NAS and I cannot find the way to configure it. It´s been a couple of days since I´ve bee...
Disconnect eth1 for now, and just use the one ethernet connection. If you want to use two, you need to configure NIC teaming in the NAS - let's wait on that until you get everything else up and running.
Then try entering http://192.168.1.10/admin into your PC browser, and see if you can log into the NAS. There likely will be some security warnings that you need to click through. When you get to the login screen, enter admin for the username and password for the password.
The hardware and software manuals for your ReadyNAS are here:

FWIW, I recommend NAS-purposed disks (like the Seagate Ironwolf or WDC Red drives), or possibly enterprise-class drives. They are better choices for NAS use than the desktop drives you went with. I'm not suggesting that you return them, but you might keep that in mind for future disk purchases.
Hi, I have tried what you told me and nothing, the webpage refused the connection with error: ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED so I restarted the router just in case. Still the same I start to think that the hard disk I´m using could be the problem, is there any way I can make sure it´s because of this? Do you know how the lights are supposed to be turned on if the disk is not recognised? And can it boot up without any drives and show an error that there are no drives connected?
I was thinking of buying a proper hard drive for the NAS but 1st wanted to test it and don’t really want to spend 200 euros on a 6tbif it is not going to work as I cannot determine if the NAS if failing or the drives.
Let me know if there is anything else you come across.
Thanks!
Hi 2brock,
Usually if the disk is not recognized, the disk LED is not lit on the NAS. You can boot up the NAS without the disks and RAIDar should be able to detect it with a status of "no disk detected".
