ORBI with QNAP
My new Orbi RBR350 pack arrived today and have been installing it and updating to the latest firmware etc. Everything working now except I cant access my QNAP NAS. It shows up in the app with an Orbi...
I agree. One can only run headlong into a wall for so long before it ceases to be entertaining.
One you have learned the NAS IP address on the ISP router, can devices connected to the Orbi stream music, save files, etc.?
Full disclosure - I have returned the Orbi today as I had a weekend of bangng my head against a brick wall with no success and no response from the Netgear help line. Typicaly I have tonight received a reply and in case it helps anyone else I will post it here. Obviously I cannot test this...
Enable Port Aggregation on your router:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the network.
2. Enter http://www.orbilogin.net.
A login screen displays.
3. Enter the admin user name and password.
The user name is admin and the password is the one that you created during set up. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED>Advanced Setup>Ethernet Port Aggregation.
Enable LACP on QNAP NAS.
1. Use Ethernet cables to connect the QNAP NAS to Ethernet port 1 and port 2 on the router.
2. Launch a web browser to access the QNAP NAS management page.
3. Follow this link: http://docs.qnap.com/nas/4.0/en/index.html?network.htm
4. Go back to the router's UI and check if Port Aggregation status is now Active.
I cannot imagine how enabling port aggregation would change anything. The issue is not bandwidth, it is connecting in the first place.
