Static IP Address for Synology DS414

[Franky076]

I've bought a NAS server Synology DS414. The manual advices that I should create a static ip address for the NAS in my router.

How do I create this?

Yes, the router now should always assign 192.168.1.19 to the NAS.

You can confirm this by shutting down the NAS, rebooting the router, powering up the NAS, and then checking it's IP address.

It is better to reserve an IP address for the NAS in the router.  Then the NAS will get the same IP address all the time, but if you change routers in the future you will still be able to connect to it.

In most Netgear routers, you'd pick "advanced" on the main web ui page, then "setup" and "lan setup".  If you can't find that page, please let us know what router model you have.

I've found the page of the LAN SETUP. Clicked on the line where my NAS is situated. Clicked Add. And now the situation is like this. see attached image

When I type in a new browser 192.168.1.19 my NAS server page opens.
