1. good to hear it's working for you. as a point of info, i was setting up the same thing for a friend (he share's a flat with other tenants). by default, the NAS has firewall rules that denies access by default. i forgot about this, and ds file initially could not connect. I suspect it was some default setting somewhere.

3. i think expressvpn website will have instructions. basically in my case (from memory), in nas, settings, network, create connection --> openvpn, enter server settings, credentials and any other inputs. save, click connect, and you're good to go.

Thanks sharing! I guess the old andriod app I am using is so troublefree so I have been using it for many years, ha ha guess when I am more stable with other NAS feature, I will start to try set NFS service to try if it works for this old app, else will use DS Files.

I connected the second lan port to my starhub optical router, it does detect the network and got a second IP connection, but it can't be detected by device connected to these second boardband connection. I guess it is because my starhub modem is not at same cabinet and in one of my room and that why, will try again if got some time this weekend.

Another possible fault that Synology NAS may kena.

[salvare000]

Hi,

Can anyone advise?

I'm looking to purchase a 6 bay NAS and I'm thinking of getting the Seagate 16TB Exos HDD from Amazon/Newegg. Anyone knows how the warranty works?

Another fix solutions from YouTube.

Just solder a 100 ohm resistor and it worked.

RAM Upgrade for DS415+ / DS416Play

[jimmyleong]

Life is strange.... really strange and unexpected.....

By some miracle, after leaving my DS1815+ alone, dead for a week with all hard disks removed, it came alive after I tried powering it up. I was not willing to give it up just yet.... Even though I have already ordered the 100ohms resister.

So I quickly unplugged the power cable and slotted all my hard disks into the NAS and wow, it powered up again, and initialized.

Now I am able to access my NAS and quickly rebuild my affected volume (remember I died after I changed a hard disk which crashed).

It is now rebuilding at 0.5%... I wonder how long it will take.

No way I am going to power down my NAS unless absolutely necessary. It was a frightening experience.

Problem is my NAS is currently located at a place that is not where it should be, as I was "repairing" it. Guess I will leave it there for a while, or for a long while.

Keeping my fingers crossed. Maybe I should taped my crossed fingers?

Thank you all for those who have advised and help me.

Where did you ordered the 100ohms resistor from? What power rating you got?

Oh I ordered Taobao, China. I was too lazy to go down to Sim Lim Tower. Boy I missed that place. Used to go there shopping for electrical parts.

I can pass you some if you need, when they arrive. I bought a pack of all different resister value.

One of the fixes for some models involve soldering a 4K7 resister. But not for my side.

Yest, my hse suddenly had a power trip and turns out its my synology 915+ was the cause of the issue. Just seconds before it trips, i saw the synology box blue light blinking... i am unable power up the box thereafter already..

I tried changing power cable but it didnt work.. just logged a case with them.. hopefully the data is still intact. Hope the support can give a soonest response.

As long as you are not using Btrfs in raid 5 you are safe.

I reformatted into btfrs raid10 few months back. Originally it was the synology own format decided to move to btfrs when i transfer all the HDDs over to this new box

So do you know which component spoilt in my case? Is it the adapter?

Yah man, those were the day. How many did you buy?

[i1magic]

I just changed my PC. I was logging into Synology NAS with out problem via 192.168.XXX.XXX:5000 on my old PC.


Then I tried to login to the Synology NAS again and it keep saying cannot.

So I reset the NAS and then login to Admin with blank password and change the password. It asked me to login again but show errors says :


192.168.XXX.XXX:5000 you are not authorised to access this service


I tried like 10 times, still the same. Bo bian, I power up my old PC and then tried to login from there and it shows 192.168.XXX.XXX:5001 instead and I could get in.

Any expert here can explain what went wrong?

You mean your Synology DS915+ is the cause of the power trip?


You changed power cable means you have another power adapter that has similar power output rating as the original power adapter? Or what?
