That is an old build built months ago, I think. So it could have been fixed since then. I think the I.P. should show on the display at the front of the NAS when the display is active.

The GUI does not inspire much confidence in what it's directing.
The NAS uses md RAID with the BTRFS filesystem on top. BTRFS has some nice improvements over EXT4 which was used in the older devices including some reliability improvements.

Hopefully this feature will be added in a future release. It is a great feature in 4.2.x.
