During my testing, Synology DS220+ was able to achieve an average speed of 110 Mbps using a Gigabit Ethernet connection compared to approx. Once you log in, you can transfer data almost 10x faster compared to a 2.4GHz Wifi Router.

Here, I have used Synology DS220+ to demonstrate the process. The process is almost the same for all Synology NAS devices. This step involves assigning a Static IP address to your Synology NAS. Access NAS over Ethernet using Synology Assistant Assign a Static IP Address to NAS Assign a static IP address to Mac or Windows PCģ. Check out this tutorial to set up your newly bought Synology DS220+ or any other Synology NAS.Ģ. You can change the IP address of your PC but not the IP address of NAS unless you have access to NAS.

Else, you’ll not be able to access the NAS. When you connect Synology NAS directly to Mac or Windows computer over ethernet, both NAS and the PC have to be on the same IP address to communicate with each other.
