Press and hold “reset” until the red light flashes, then release it. The system will automatically restore to factory settings (reset account information, retain hard disk data), log in again to add devices, and invite users (the original personal folder permissions remain unchanged).
Note:
Every time you reopen the APP (the APP is offline for more than 5 minutes) and re-access the NAS, it will be slow at first because the system needs to confirm the account and administrator permissions and establish the best network connection.
The best network environment is the local network with a maximum speed of 110MB/S, and the worst network is forwarding.
