Thanks for your suggestion. NAS Nav from my phone finds nothing. On my PC and tablet going to the ip address, using a web browser, gives connection refused.
BTW, the on and off switch at the back does nothing to the device. I have to pull the power plug to turn it off now. Not sure if the switch worked before.
When the device boots up the power button flashes white. This is what the manual says it should do. I guess it is indexing the files? Takes a LOOOONG time.
While the device is booting, until about 30 minutes into the process, ping returns destination not reachable. Booting takes hours on my drive which has many files.
