Saltrams
New Around Here
Greetings. This is about a NAS but I think it is more of a LAN specific problem. Trouble is, unless something just works or I have detailed instructions, I haven’t the first clue…
I have an Asustor 7004T NAS. It was all working fine. Then I moved house, got a new ISP (Starlink, with Gen3 modem, in case that’s relevant) and plugged my NAS into the modem. It took unusually long to boot but once it did, I was able to see all the content using Windows Explorer on the same laptop that I used in the old house.
However, I can’t access the AMD (OS) & admin of the NAS. I can’t get into it via Web GUI, the proprietary Asustor App reports it can see the NAS but can’t access it (the IP address is shown as the old one as in my old house) and it reports the NAS has a “different subnet”.
Also, the Starlink App shows the NAS in its device list with a different IP address to the one it had before but it isn’t accessible no matter what various IPs I try.
Back in the old house, I did change the default access ports but I know those numbers & it doesn’t help.
Starlink reports the IP is 192.xxx.x.254. Starlink’s subnet is shown in the App as 192.xxx.x.1/24 (which to my amateur eye is outside of the range of the NAS’s IP ending 254) and it says “[This is an] advanced feature that changes the IP addresses assigned to your devices. Most users [that’s me!] should use the default.” Hence, I’m not just altering the subnet rashly to see what happens!
Could the IP address for the NAS in the old house be “static”? which I somehow set myself (or it just did it itself) but then why would Starlink give it another, different one and one outside of its own subnet range? That makes no sense.
So, I hope I’ve described everything properly; does anyone know what’s amiss & how to fix it please?
