Just got one of these. One thing I'd like to do is login to the admin page from my Android tablet. Each time I do this though I get taken to a ' browse my nsa share' default page for mobile browser page . Ive tried several different browsers and and always have user agent set to desktop . Any ideas?

Not easily accessible.. there is a workaround suggested here:

I have a workaround that works using safari or most other ISO browsers that I have tryed.

If you Login to the NAS as normal... Once Logged in manualy goto web address

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/zyxel/admin/index.html

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx being the IP address or hostname of your NAS

If login page comes up again login again and attempt web address again.

From there you can add it as a book mark as I have done.

I have found that you can then manage most features from here but it can be funny with views etc sometimes.

I used this to manage torrents away from home which was very hard because I attempted to do via http torrent downloads and when you want to paste in the link the page zoom off and goes funny. But have managed it in 360 browser.

Hope this helps all users as it took me a while to figure out and I was very annoyed at not being able to login to admin page myself.

Also hate the file browser as any files with more than like 15 characters or so can be very hard to read or impossable.

Thanks. I'll try that when I get home tonight. Weirdly when I tried it on my Android phone, I got logged into a mobile specific site for admin on the NAS. I could check on torrent status etc. I couldn't access that on the tablet though.

Thanks for that Basq... just tested on Safari and worked perfectly.

Would love to get my hands on one of these so if anyone spots a similar bargain please post it up

Hi Lads,

Quick question I recommended one of these to friends of mine w/o looking properly as I thought it was a media player at fist glance, silly me.

Just wondering what the cheapest media player for it is that people would recommend? ATV2 is out as the prices are just going up and up (got my last one for 150) anything cheap and cheerful out there?

Thanks
Gary

I have yet to get my Pi to stream well from mine

randombar · 01-10-2012 08:13AM

Thanks for the reply, they wouldn't be great at installing an os / xbmc on a raspberry pi so I was hoping for something with less set up.

uck51js9zml2yt · 01-10-2012 08:25AM

I turned on my drive and got an update firmware message.
when I clicked ok it started process and just closed down without updating.
does anyone have any ideas.
thanks

ARe you having issues with it or just that you haven't got around to doing it?

Having issues using raspBMC. I can't stream a HD movie without it stuttering. This is with the Pi and NAS connected to the same gigabit switch

A right I don't have any HD movies myself so don't know... Most of mine are just 700mb avi files and then mkv's for the new tv shows so I can't offer any advice.

Chet T16 · 01-10-2012 11:45AM

To be fair, i didn't need to use it for streaming as the TV does that by itself so i was only messing about and never looked into any tweaks.

I also think i've been unlucky with SD cards!

melekalikimaka · 01-10-2012 07:01PM

the pi wont stream full hq hd content...yet

mp3ireland2 · 02-10-2012 09:20AM

Anybody have trouble with certain torrents going really slow? I have quite a slow line, max speed would be about 200kb/s but I'm downloading a large torrent now at speeds of 5-10kb/s... there's hundreds of seeders so don't really know what's going on... so far I've downloaded 1.5gb and uploaded about 14gb! my upload speed is normally less than 20!

Also has anybody gotten an RSS feed working for torrents? (Not a tv show one) but one you can just add whatever files you want to the feed as you go and it will download instead of having to download the torrent file and then open it in the broadcatching....

There's a 2TB NAS on Amazon Deals at the moment for £95 delivered, reduced from £168:

I don't know about the Buffalo but the nice thing about the Zyxel is that it's so easy to use. The Dashboard really does make set up a breeze and the packages that come with it make it really flexible. it's greate to be able to use it as a Squeezebox Server and Media Server without any hassles at all.

Bump for this..

.. now available at Amazon (under More Buying Choices) for £40 diskless.

There is a 3 - 4 week wait but great value!

TheChevron · 08-11-2012 02:23PM

Has anyone managed to get this working with usenet?

I have an astraweb ac and would like to download content directly to the NAS.

Basq · 08-11-2012 02:30PM

It's possible but involves installing a version of Debian - see here!

TheChevron · 08-11-2012 03:35PM

Fook me that seems complicated.

Unfortunately, it's not easy alright.

I'd say it's unlikely to be supported in a future firmware update too.

Scruff · 11-11-2012 07:36PM

does this need a disk in it to function or could i just connect an existing external usb hd to it and have that shared on my network, kinda like a pogoplug would do?

External will work fine, I've an internal 1tb and a portable 500gb working fine.

How would this work if I put into attic with long ethernet cable would it affect the speed of it ? and would it be safe ?

Does it end up as a full(ish) debian able to install rtorrent and rutorrent?

I remember looking up infor about the bittorrent client it comes with, and it doesn't support rss filters from the tiny amount of info I could find.

jArgHA · 12-11-2012 10:49AM

Ordered a diskless one from Amazon for just under £40 last week, can't wait till it arrives (although there will be a 3-4 week wait

).

I am counting on it being able to run SABNzbd and Sickbeard, I thought it was possible without any O/S change to Debian...

I found the following guide which should assist in installing Sickbeard and SABNzbd on the machine:

Hope it works for you, I'll report back here how it goes for me once I get the NAS.
