FAQs

How do I install hard drives in the TS-264?

Remove the drive trays, insert the hard drives, and secure them with screws. Slide the trays back into the NAS.

How often should I back up my data?

It is recommended to back up your data regularly, ideally daily or weekly, depending on how often the data changes.

Troubleshooting

NAS not powering on.

Check the power adapter and outlet. Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the NAS and the power source.

Cannot connect to the NAS.

Verify the network connection. Ensure the NAS and your computer are on the same network. Use Qfinder Pro to locate the NAS and check its IP address.
