Hello, I am new to this site.

Post by Graham »

Hi
My name is Graham and I live near Oxford in the UK.
Just got myself an AS-604T, 1GB ram with two WD red 3TB drives set to RAID 1 format.
I know little about networking and guess I will be on here quite a lot asking questions, so thanks in advance.

If I can, I wish to use my NAS as a back computer for when my main machine is offline and sick, if that is possible?
I also want to be able to connect to my NAS securley from other computers not on my home network but dont know how to set it up?
I have already managed to back up my important files to my NAS but cant seem to find my way around the OS very well, I have downloaded the Google app so I can browse the web but cant even find it to be able to launch it.

Any help wound be much appresiated

regards

Graham

Welcome. 8-)

If you need to connect to nas through internet, you'll have to setup cloud function correctly first (ADM web page -> Settings -> Easy of Access). This setup procedure depends on your router / gateway capability. You can post questions here if you encounter problems. Or you can visit asustor's web college to get more information (I used to be there :) ). After that, you should have a cloud ID (a global internet host name).

Then, you can enable secured WebDav service (ADM web page -> Services -> WebDAV). And you also need to setup a private certificate in your outside computers (to make sure it's secured). You can refer to the following forum topic.

Hope it helps. ;)
