4.6. INTERNET Port: NAS+Router
For switch configurations, the INTERNET port is a convenient Recov-
ery port with a static IP address (3.7. INTERNET Port: NAS+Switch).
However, the INTERNET port becomes the door to the network WAN
or Internet when using the Wireless Space as a router. Further infor-
mation on connecting the Wireless Space to the network is available
in the following sections:
4.1. Before the Installation
4.3. Configuration 4: Router - Wired Only
4.4. Configuration 5: Router Wireless Access Point
4.5.3. Dashboard: Network WAN
Once the Wireless Space is prepared to join the home or business
router, server, or Internet provider, you can make the Ethernet con-
nection using the INTERNET port.
4.6.5.1. NAS+Router Recovery
The INTERNET port is not meant for Recovery when using a router
configuration. You should have the ability to reach the Dashboard
when connected to one of the LAN ports. Simply type the name
of the Wireless Space or its IP address in the URL bar of your web
browser. Use LaCie Network Assistant to find the IP address if neces-
sary.
In the event that the Dashboard does not load in your browser, try
unplugging the Ethernet cable from the INTERNET port. If that al-
lows for access to the Dashboard, look for a potential DHCP or IP
address conflict between the Wireless Space and the router, server,
or Internet provider.
