AiMaster Needs MAC Address option

Post by scoutfu »

I have a 604T and a 608T and I have been able to wake them up and access them remotely no problem, but I have always had problems getting this program to connect.

I realised this evening that my phone was not on my ADM White List, so if I disable the white list i can connect to them fine, as long as they use different ports.

But I want to use the White List, which only uses IP address and my mobile one will constantly change... unlike its MAC address.

Would it not make more sense to be able to enter a MAC address into AiMaster... as well as Network Defender !?


Hang on, if i enable the White Lists on both NAS, how come I can connect to Plex no problem, but not AiMaster?

No, and why did you feel the need to quote what i said, then reply rather than just reply, that looks so silly :)

Do you mean using Asus Webstorage... oh no I see, Ease of Access, Cloud Connect.
That requires uPNP which I would prefer not to enable on my router.

Hello scoutfu,

Having a MAC address whitelist only works for devices attached to the same network as the NAS. Every IP address behind a router will not have it's MAC address reveiled.

Best regards,
