Connecting the iNAS as a Router.

WAN Configuration

Enter the Network Settings sections from the Administration page. Then click on WAN Configuration on the menu to the left if you are not there already.

5.Select the Network protocol that your ISP provides. You may need to check with your ISP to confirm your type of connection. If you use a Static IP address then you need to get this IP from your ISP.

6.Enable the “Allow Entering Administration Web Pages from External Network” if you plan to access the iNAS remotely. Port 80 is selected by default, and is already open to most web browsers to use the HTTP protocol. Kanguru strongly suggests that you check with your ISP to confirm that the selected port is open.

Note1: If you select a port other than 80, you will need to enter this number at the end of the iNAS IP address. For example, if you choose to use Port 88 to remotely access the iNAS, then you should enter

http://192.168.1.254:88.

Note2: If your ISP provides you with a Dynamic IP address, then should use a DNS service such as http://dyndns.org to create a Dynamic DNS link to your router. The DNS service is free, and will automatically update your IP address for you. This is very useful because your Dynamic IP address can change at any moment, so you will never be sure of the WAN IP address of the iNAS if you are trying to remotely connect. The DNS service updates the Dynamic IP address and masks it with a domain name of your choosing.

7. Click Apply to enter these settings.
