If you’re fairly new to the NAS scene, you may be wondering how to find your ASUSTOR NAS on your local network. Luckily, the process is pretty straightforward. Here’s how it’s done.
Prerequisites
As you may have expected, there are a few things you need to do before you’re able to find your ASUSTOR NAS.
- Connect your NAS to a power supply, as well as the local network
- Install at least one HDD or SSD
- Download ASUSTOR Control Center to your Windows PC or Mac
Once you’ve satisfied these requirements, you’re ready to locate your NAS.
Find Your ASUSTOR NAS
First, open the “ASUSTOR Control Center” app or your PC or Mac. You can do this by double-clicking the app icon that appears on your desktop after downloading.
Next, select the “Scan” button in the top-left corner of the ASUSTOR Control Center window.
It will scan your local network for connected ASUSTOR NAS devices. Once the scan is complete, all ASUSTOR NAS devices on the network will appear in the list.
Double-click the NAS you’d like to connect to from the list and it will open in your default browser. Once in, bookmark the URL so that you don’t need to repeat these steps each time you want to access it.
