Finding the IP Address of Your Synology NAS: A Simple Guide
If you're looking to find the IP address of your Synology NAS, we've got you covered! Follow this simple guide to quickly locate the IP address of your device.
Step 1: Log In to Your Synology NAS
First, open your preferred web browser and type in the IP address or hostname of your Synology NAS. If you haven't changed the default settings, the IP address should be something like:
192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1
If you don't know the IP address, you can use a network scanning tool such as Angry IP Scanner or Nmap to find it. These tools will scan your network and display a list of connected devices along with their IP addresses.
Step 2: Open Network Settings
Once you've entered the IP address of your Synology NAS into the browser's address bar, press enter. This will open the login page of your device. Enter your username and password to log in.
After logging in, navigate to the Control Panel and click on Network.
Step 3: Locate the IP Address
In the Network settings page, you'll find the IP address of your Synology NAS listed under the General tab. Look for the IPv4 address field.
Note: The IP address is typically in the format of XXX.XXX.X.X, where each X represents a number between 0 and 255. For example, 192.168.0.10.
If your Synology NAS is connected to multiple networks or has multiple IP addresses assigned, you will see multiple entries under the Network Interface section. Make sure to select the appropriate entry to find the correct IP address.
Remember: If your Synology NAS is configured to obtain an IP address automatically (via DHCP), the IP address may change over time. It's recommended to set a static IP address for your device to ensure consistent access.
That's it! You have successfully found the IP address of your Synology NAS. Make sure to note it down for future reference, especially if you plan to access your NAS remotely or use any network services.
