- F2-210 bought new March 1 2023
- Seagate IronWolf 8TB [NAS] 3.5"
- I would like to access each drive independently for different storage uses
A: Setup individual drives but could not access Volume #2
- After reading up online and searching the issue was advised to reset to factory default
After reset to default went through setup - individual drives - problem persisted
Ensured SMB was active
Could now use web interface File Manager to add / remove folders and files [new] to Volume #1 and could see Volume #2 but not add or remove folders or files
Access via windows 11 File Explorer shows the NAS under Network and allows access to [apparently] Volume #1 but no signs indicating Volume #2 at all
After not getting required results for my intended usage I switched the NAS off with intention of getting back to it a day or so later. Unfortunately I became ill for about a week [recovered thanks]. I have now gotten back to the NAS only to find all my settings are gone and on trying to access the NAS I can only get as far as the Admin settings page.
- Turn on NAS [connected to router directly with network cable]
Go to laptop for access [as previously]
Go to Windows 11 File Explorer and double click 'TNAS-52FD' [this is the F2-210]
Browser starts up [Opera] and TOS starts to load [Have tried access via Firefox and Edge also]
Arrive at 'Initialization' page that says 'Admin Settings' and requires user name password and email address and time
Set user name, password and email and time
Click on 'Send Code' and get timer
Go to email and copy code
Paste code into settings page
Click on 'Next'
NOTHING HAPPENS
Click on 'Can't receive email? Skip this'
Nothing Happens
As noted above the NAS and both drives in it are brand new and I checked the drives where suitable before buying them. My limited budget means I had to save to buy this equipment and so far I'm very disappointed with the experience. I really hope to be able to fix the issues and use the NAS.
If anyone could help it would be great. I'm not too bothered about using the drives individually but would like to if possible. The main issue right now is that the NAS is stuck on Admin settings and I cannot pass that page.
