About Using Wi-Fi with your NAS
If you wish to use Wi-Fi with your NAS, please take a look at the compatibility list on the ASUSTOR
website before purchasing a Wi-Fi adapter. Wi-Fi signal strength and stability will vary according to
the hardware that you are using (e.g., Wi-Fi network card and wireless access point) and any
physical barriers that are present. Therefore, ASUSTOR has no way of guaranteeing Wi-Fi signal
strength or stability. For best results, a wired Ethernet connection is recommended.

UPS
A UPS can provide backup power to your NAS in the event of a power outage. Using a UPS can
protect your data and NAS from sudden shutdown or service interruptions.
Network UPS: Here you can setup your NAS to be the network UPS server (Master mode) and
set its IP address, when the UPS’s USB cable is connected to your NAS. Other devices that are in
the same local area network will be then set to slave mode. In the event of a power outage, the
master and slave devices will immediately detect this stoppage in power and then determine
whether or not to commence shutdown procedures based on the time period that has been set.
Shut down: When the NAS receives notification of a power outage from the UPS, it will begin
normal shutdown procedures.
Safe mode: When the NAS receives notification of a power outage from the UPS, it will stop all
services in accordance with normal procedures and unmount all storage volumes. If you have
enabled the "In the event of a power outage, enable the NAS to return to its previous state once
power has been restored" setting (configurable via Settings → Hardware → Power), once the NAS
has been shut down under safe mode, it will automatically turn on once power has been restored.
(This function is available for use with AS-6/7 series devices).
