Recently, I revived an old Synology NAS and found myself unable to connect without its IP address. If you, like me, have forgotten this crucial piece of information, don\u2019t worry \u2013 it\u2019s easier to retrieve than you might think.<\/p>\n

To locate the IP address of your NAS and establish a connection, first make sure that your NAS is properly connected to your network and powered on.<\/p>\n

Next, I navigate to this page in my browser: https:\/\/finds.synology.com\/#<\/a><\/p>\n

Upon landing at the page, it automatically begins searching for any Synology NAS devices connected to my Wi-Fi network.<\/p>\n

\"Searching<\/figure>\n

When found, it displays the details of the NAS like this:<\/p>\n

\"NAS<\/figure>\n

All I need to do then is click \u2018Connect<\/strong>,\u2019 and a new browser window opens where I can log in to my NAS.<\/p>\n

\"Click<\/figure>\n

Alternative Method<\/h2>\n

If the above method doesn\u2019t work for you, there\u2019s another approach you can try. This method requires using your computer\u2019s command prompt if you\u2019re on Windows or Terminal if you\u2019re on Mac.<\/p>\n

Simply enter the following command and press enter. It will display a list of all the IP addresses of devices connected to your network:<\/p>\n

arp -a<\/pre>\n
Next, you can test each IP address by appending \u201c:5000\u201d to the end and pasting it into your browser. For example, if one of the IPs is 192.168.1.15, you would type 192.168.1.15:5000 into your browser.<\/p>\n
This method can be somewhat hit-or-miss, especially if you have many devices connected to your network. It might require several attempts to find the right IP address.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
