Network Sengs
Usually, you do not need to change your Personal Cloud 2-Bay network settings. If you are having issues with
network connectivity, changing the settings might solve the problem.
Change the IP configuraon
By default, the IP configuration uses DHCP, a standard networking protocol that dynamically selects IP
addresses for interfaces and services. If you are having issues with network connectivity, you might want to
use a fixed IP address.
1. Open the Device Manager.
2. Click Show advanced settings, and then click Network.
3. On the Connections tab, click Edit.
4. Click either the IPv4 or IPv6tab.
5. (IPv4). Select Manual or Automatic(DHCP) from the pull-down menu, and then click Save.
6. (IPv6). Select an option from the pull-down menu, and then click Save.
Configure a proxy server
A proxy server acts as an intermediary between computers and the Internet. It allows the computers on your
network to make indirect network connections to other network services. Using a proxy server:
Speeds up Internet surfing
Hides the IP address of a computer so that you can surf anonymously
Bypasses security restrictions and filters to access blocked websites easily
1. Open the Device Manager.
2. Click Show advanced settings, and then click Network.
3. On the Proxy tab, select Proxy server in the drop-down menu.
4. Enter the proxy server address and the name and password if authentication is required.
5. Click Apply.
Note: Changing network settings requires some understanding of networking and your specific
setup.
Note: Not all devices support IPv6. Go to test-ipv6.com to determine if IPv6 is supported.
Note: Your router must have a proxy server to complete these steps.
