truflex Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 I was given a QNAP TS-210 2TB Turbo 2-bay NAS network attached storage server SMB AFP backup at work today. How do I connect it to my PC at home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aris Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Might need some configuration too - google for the manual online. If they dint give you the relevant passwords, you may have to do a factory reset. I don't have a Qnap myself, but all NAS devices operate pretty much on the same principes.
