Web interface for Offline Use?
Hi, I'm off to buy a Netgear RN10400-100AJS tomorrow. My question is. Do these have the usual normal Web interface via the devices IP address? Our application is for "Offline" use. IE. ...
Nah. It's a crap store. Low prices (Margins) Zero Support.
You place your order online. Walk in. They bark at you "Name!" regardless what you ask. Then they present the goods and take the cash and you walk out.
If you ring the store you get a message, we are busy now try again later and they hang up. All day every day!LOL!
If I took the device back we wouldn't have anything for months.
Maybe I can buy a spare tray online or something later?
Well it's up and running.
A few interesting quirks that I wasn't overly impressed by but otherwise once into the IP's admin page on the Browser looks very nice so far.
Some interesting feedback.
- If you start the unit without a drive you can't access the Admin via browser on the IP. You also can't turn the device off with the power button.
Once the drive is inserted it's happy. Instant access to the Admin panel, and auto format of the drive.
- The drive tray's metal base comes scary close to the drive's PCB. I examined it with a torch and it's lucky to have a 1mm clearance. :(
I almost didn't insert it. Instead I would have been looking for some thin plastic sheeting to insulate it. This would be a nice thing to include actually.
How come a 4TB drive only leaves 3.63TB usable?
OS or Raid overhead or something?
- The power connector looks very non standard. Where can we buy this plug?
One huge thing we love about Netgear is the use of 12VDC input voltages.
We often buy this brand purely for this reason. (Remote battery / Solar use).
We use a lot of your entry level Switches and Routers that support 12VDC power.
OK, I'm off to play more.
