Frequently Asked Questions
Common diagnostics questions about smart device network routing.
Why can find.synology.com not detect my Synology NAS?
Verify that your computer and the NAS are connected to the same subnet and router. If using a guest Wi-Fi network, client isolation may block local device discovery.
Why is a static IP essential for NAS drives?
A static IP ensures that mapped network SMB/NFS drives, Plex media libraries, and automated backup targets do not break when your router DHCP leases expire.
