Cannot connect QNAP NAS to airport extreme
I just purchased a QNAP TS-253A and I have been trying for several hours to connect to this machine. I have looked at tutorials, user guides and I have browsed through several forums, but I can’t find an answer. So now I pose the question to this forum.
My setup is a Zyxel router (with disabled WiFi) to which I have connected an Apple Time Capsule (wireless NAS server) and I try to make contact to my QNAP with my MacBook Pro over WiFi since my MacBook Pro doesn’t have a LAN port.
I have tried different options: to connect my QNAP with a LAN-cable directly to the router, to connect with a LAN-cable to the Time Capsule and even to an other Apple AirPort Extreme that is in my WiFi-network, but in neither of these setups Qfinder Pro sees the NAS. I have disabled my Firewall and antivirus.
How to proceed?
In a few months we will get internet over fiberoptic and then I will receive a new router. Will that solve my problem?
Can you please help me?
