Create a DDNS entry. (NO-IP, DYNDNS)
Fill in the DDNS info either in Synology or Router.

And port forward 5000 (Default) for access to your NAS.

You have to register too to get your IP address. Cause you are in dynamic IP. Go here --> www.dyndns.com

I think I saw the price for this unit before, can buy a whole new PC + 6 HDDs with that price

hi guys, wanna know if qnap nas support download from premium rs/mu/hotfile?

I already did this. I create a DDNS entry DYNDNS

I also fill in the DDNS info both in Synology and Routre and port forward 5000 for access to my NAS. Has anyone successfully done it with their Synology 210j NAS and DIR-615 version 7 firmware on their Unifi? Please help and give step by step procedure how to do this

Try NSLOOKUP to the address (DDNS address)
Is the IP Address resolved correctly matching your WAN IP Address?

if you are uing Synology DDNS function, please check the STATUS : "NORMAL" ( normal mean your setting is correct)






another setting need to be take care is your DNS and gateway


if still cannot access, please double check did u enable the firewall setting in synology admin page. if yes, u must enable the port 5000 admin page access .

Thanks guys, now im able to connect remotely and I'm so glad.

By the way, has anyone of you tried to mapped Synology Drive (in my case DS-210j) on your WIndows 7 64 bit machine?

Just as I suspected, price has gone up a little. Took this two nights ago.

hmm bought 3 weeks ago and its still price RM919.

Somehow I found the download speed in my microserver (Win 7 Enterprise + ethernet) is much slower than my laptop (Win 7 Home + Wifi).

Tried to tweak alot of stuff but still slow. Anyone face the same problem?

I don't download files using my Microserver though but the network card on the Microserver hits close to 120++ MB/s on transfers from my other PCs. I leave the settings as is and use HP's driver downloaded from the website.

Am running Windows Server 2008 R2 for what it's worth.

I see. I didn't update any driver as I leave it as it is when I installed Win 7.

Hows the performance on Win Server 2008 R2? Any difference running it compare to Win 7?

Performance wise, I can stream 720p movies to 3 different devices (Wifi) in my house without any problem.

Hi! My 1TB hardisk on my Synology DS-210j is almost full and i want to replace it with new one. Anyone has done this? Will my set-up be retained?Or do i have to re-configure everything again from scratch? How about those on download cue that has not yet been completed, how to transfer them to the new hard disk?

I have not installed Windows 7 on the Microserver.

But 3 x 720p streams off the Microserver is not bad. But I must credit it to your wifi router more than anything since it's quite difficult to maintain 3 streams via wifi. May I ask what wifi router is that?

1x 720p stream is roughly about 0.8 MB/s. For easy calculation, let's take it 1 MB/s. 3 of those stream will total up to 3MB/s max. That's very easily done on the Microserver actually. I usually stream BD isos and complete BDMV folders with no problems. They stream about 5 to 6MB/s.

Anyway, if you want to check the network performance of the Microserver (not the wifi router), install something like a bandwidth monitor to see what is the real time input / output. You can also check using the performance tool under Task Manager.

if you are use RAID-1 setup for your DS210j, you can replace 1 HDD first and rebuild the RAID, after done this process, replace the 2nd HDD and rebuild RAID again. Once done, you can expand to bigger volume size like for 1TB upgrade to 2TB.


all your data and setting will remain the same. more details as below:


How_to_expand_the_RAID_Volume_with_larger_disks

Indeed, this morning I opened the Star papers and saw this advert

Hopefully the shops still maintain old prices.

hi everyone...im thinking to get either NAS or DAS...i would like to ask what other advantages for NAS other than bt and sharing files between few pc?i have one desktop and laptop at home while my laptop is seldom used...i heard than we can access to NAS while outside,want to ask how fast to access to nas?

Hi guys, anyone owns DLINK DNS-323?
