How to Find the IP Address of your QNAP NAS
To find the IP address of your QNAP NAS device, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Access the QNAP NAS Web Interface
First, you need to access the QNAP NAS web interface. Open your preferred web browser and enter the following address in the address bar:
http://[nas_hostname_or_ip_address]
Replace [nas_hostname_or_ip_address] with either the hostname or IP address of your NAS device.
If you don't know the hostname or IP address of your NAS device, you can try the following options:
Option 1: Use QNAP Qfinder Pro
If you have QNAP Qfinder Pro installed on your computer, open the application and it will display all the QNAP NAS devices connected to your network along with their IP addresses.
Option 2: Use Router Admin Page
If your QNAP NAS is connected to your home network, you can access your router's administration page to find the list of connected devices. Look for the QNAP NAS in the list and note down its IP address.
Option 3: Use QNAP Finder
If you have the QNAP Finder utility installed, run the program, and it will search for all QNAP NAS devices in your network and display their IP addresses.
Step 2: Find the IP Address
Once you have accessed the QNAP NAS web interface, you can find the IP address of your NAS device by following these steps:
Step 2.1: NAS Information
Click on the "Control Panel" icon on the home screen of the web interface.
Next, click on the "System Settings" category and then select "System Status." The NAS information page will appear.
In the "System Status" page, you will find the "LAN 1" or "LAN 2" section. The IP address of your QNAP NAS will be listed here.
Step 2.2: Network Settings
If you couldn't find the IP address in the "System Status" page, you can try the following method:
Click on the "Control Panel" icon on the home screen of the web interface.
Next, click on the "Network & File Services" category and then select "Network & Virtual Switch". The network settings page will appear.
Under the "Interfaces" tab, find the network interface that is connected to your network. The IP address of your QNAP NAS will be listed next to the interface.
By following these steps, you should be able to find the IP address of your QNAP NAS and access it for further configuration or management.
