If you set up QuickConnect, there is no need to set up port forwarding rules (Ignore if you don’t understand). QuickConnect is a service from Synology that allows you to access your NAS via the Internet using any application such as Audio Station, Video Station, Download Station, Surveillance Station, Photo Station, File Station, etc. You need to enter these every time if you want to access or manage the NAS. Make sure you remember the Username and Password. Once you enter the required details hit Next. Password: Enter a string password (It can be changed anytime).Username: Enter any name (It’s nothing but your Login username).Server name: Give a unique name (Ex: Server1, Server_Office).During the installation, all the data on your hard disk (1) will be deleted and you need to select OK from the popup to proceed with the installation. Click on Connect and Accept the License Agreement. The LAN mode will give you more speed wherein WiFi allows you to connect to the NAS without any additional wires but with lesser speeds. You can connect your PC or Laptop to the router using a LAN cable or WiFi. Note: Make sure you are connected to the same WiFi router to which your DS220+ is connected. I would still recommend a browser-based setup as it is quick and no additional downloads are required. Make a note that, there is also an official app called Synology Assistant which will help you set up the NAS. It will take a few seconds and you’ll see the details of your NAS along with Model Number, Mac Address, IP Address, and Status. Press the Power button on the NAS to boot the deviceĪfter making sure both Router and NAS are connected properly, open any web browser on your PC and enter.Power up the NAS using the provided adapter.Connect the other end of the LAN cable to your WiFi router.Connect the one end of the LAN cable to NAS.
