Yes. That can't be blank.
The answer might not be 192.168.1.1 though. You should check to see what DNS servers are being handed out by your router.
With Window you can find that out by launching cmd (in win7 just type cmd in the "search programs and files bar"). Then enter
ipconfig /all | findstr /R "DNS\ Servers"That will tell you the right address(es) to enter there.
You can also safely enter Google's public DNS server addresses (8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4).
Truthfully, the best way is to keep the NAS set to DHCP, and reserve an address for it in your router.
...So for Link Agregation is need a configuration on the NAS and in the router... From your words is not worth it right?
I don't speak for Eskender :smileywink:
But frankly it's not worth it on the RN104. It's not fast enough to fill a single gigabit connection, so there's no benefit. The RN200 and above are fast enough, but even there you only benefit if you have multiple users accessing the NAS at the same time. Just connect one ethernet cable, and be done with it.
Hello Stephen!
Thanks for your email.
Well i did add the ip the ipconfig gave me (it was the same 192.168.1.1), but i only got parcial access to the internet, some options like the cloud apps (showed offline), and the email sending feature too...
Only after adding the DNS 8.8.8.8, to co-exist with the first one i got full access to the net! :)
Thanks for the tip.
As for the Link Agregation, i understand what your are telling me... I will keep just one rj45 connected for the time being... i got both router and NAS behind an ups, so i don´t believe i will get a burned plug...
With my best regards,
