Q: Is a fixed IP required for the NAS?

2024-08-08


#NAS #IP #FAQ

It's not strictly required to use a fixed (static) IP address for your ASUSTOR NAS. 
However, using a static IP can be beneficial in certain situations. Here’s a quick rundown:
  • Easy to find: Just like your home has a fixed address, other devices can easily find the NAS without worrying about address changes.
  • Convenient Remote Access: If you want to access the files on your NAS from outside, the fixed IP address ensures that you can always find it without worrying about address changes.
  • Application use: Some applications may require you to manually enter the address of the NAS, such as backup software, and a fixed IP address ensures that they work correctly.
  • Simplify network setup: A fixed IP address helps you setup some network functions more easily, such as accessing files externally or setting up specific network connections.

However, there are times when a dynamic IP address can be used, especially if the setup is more complex. In most cases, it is better to give the ASUSTOR NAS a fixed IP address to ensure a more stable and convenient network connection. If you're not sure how to configure your NAS, ask a network expert for advice.
