Hi everyone,

So i recently bought a new D-Link router(DIR-880L) and a new PC.  And I would like to connect my 320L NAS to it. But is there a way I can re-setup my NAS without formatting the harddrive?
It's a 3 TB HDD and i've got 2 TB stored on it. I can't make a backup before I re-setup because I simply don't have the space for it.

Should be able to connect to it and it should get a IP address and you should be able to log in to the NAS's UI using the new IP address. I recommend using a Static IP address on the DNS and set it to out side of the default routers IP address pool. i.e. 192.168.0.32 or .20. My DNS is at .34.

Thanks for the quick reply, I will try this. Thanks for the information.

Well, I guess I didn't ask my question right. I just wanted my computer to see my NAS in the file explorer, and give it a path letter. That's all.
I never had to re-install my NAS software.

What I did was; typ \\(NAS-IP) in explorer and hit enter. That's it. (Feeling like a dumbass) 

Thanks anyway for the help.
