Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue when your network storage cannot be accessed through wireless:
- Check the network connection: Make sure that both your device and network storage are connected to the same network and the network is functioning properly.
- Restart the devices: Try restarting both your device and network storage to see if it resolves the issue.
- Update the firmware: Check if there are any firmware updates available for your network storage and install them if available.
- Change the security type: Try changing the security type of your network to see if that resolves the issue.
- Reconfigure the network storage: Try reconfiguring your network storage to ensure that it’s set up properly.
- Try a different device: If possible, try connecting a different device to your network storage to see if the issue is specific to your device or a more general problem.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be necessary to seek assistance from the manufacturer or a technical support professional.

Network storage: how to set up properly
Here is a general outline for setting up network storage:
- Connect the network storage to your router: Connect the network storage to your router using an Ethernet cable.
- Access the network storage’s web interface: Use a web browser on a device connected to the same network as the network storage to access its web interface. The address is usually in the format of “http://<device_ip_address>”.
- Login to the network storage: Login to the network storage using the default username and password (which can usually be found in the user manual).
- Configure basic settings: Configure basic settings such as the device name, network settings, and time zone.
- Create user accounts: Create user accounts for those who need access to the network storage.
- Set up sharing: Set up sharing for the network storage by creating shared folders and setting permissions for those folders.
- Test the setup: Test the setup by trying to access the network storage from another device on the same network.
The exact steps may vary depending on the specific network storage device you have. Consult the user manual or manufacturer’s website for more detailed instructions.
Network Storage: The differences between NAS and SAN
NAS is a type of dedicated file server that provides file-level access to a large amount of data over a network. It connects to a network and provides a centralized repository for storing and sharing files, making it easy for multiple users to access and collaborate on the same files.
SAN, on the other hand, is a high-speed network of storage devices that provides block-level access to data. It is typically used for storage of critical data that requires high-speed access, such as for database applications or virtualized environments. SANs typically use fiber-channel or iSCSI protocols for communication between servers and storage devices, and provide a higher level of performance and reliability compared to NAS.
In summary, NAS is better suited for file sharing and general-purpose storage, while SAN is better suited for applications that require high-speed data access, such as database and virtualization.
