Important Points to Remember
The internal AP, in the W-651, does not support the Spectrum Analysis feature.
Only FAT16, FAT32, ext2 and ext3 partitions are supported.
For shared folders in an ext2/ext3 partition, the owner of the folder must be “nobody”. Otherwise clients will
not be able to access the shared folder.
Unsupported partitions may exist on the NAS device; only supported partitions are mounted.
User authentication for file access is not supported. The same permissions are applicable to all users.
