Hi, For the Q1, PLA device doesn't have DHCP client mechanism, so no static/DHCP IP you can use to access or control. Q2, although your PLAs can communicate each other over 2 different cirucits, but I think two different circuits is the key point, because PLA can communicate with each other through powerline, but there are…

Maybe is component aging. You can reset it and pair again to see if the problem gone, and if that so, might somethings unknow reason to cause the config error.

I guess you didn't pair your PLA to another one. PLA doesn't have website, but there is the utility, so you can manage it through the utility and set the same NMK on every PLA to sync them together or you can press encrypt button on two PLAs within 1 second and release, then they will sync together and homeplug will light.…

Are your RAID degrade? If yes, then you can access GUI and repair it.

Hi, Same PC and PLA change eletric socket, then the speed can upto 40Mbps, I think this might be compatibility case, because the performance will be affected by noise in powerline and some of electric socket's quality.

Hi, You can't put the HDDs directly from NSA325 to NAS326, they are using different format. Try remove one of HDD and reboot again to see can the NSA325 v2 be accesible, if yes, remember to back data out. And you could also move it into Linux PC and following following SOP to backup data.…

System volume will be the first created and default space to store data, and if system volume degraded or damaged only affect some feature, not all 4 volumes. Basic type you can plug into Linux OS PC to get data out, but it is not 100% working, because if the HDD lost file system, then PC would identify it as new HDD or…

Hi, What is your MacOS version? Did you update your MacOS, and then you can't access your backup anymore?

I tried driectly to connect NW card to one PLA, then I can see the device, but with other no PLA Ethernet port, then I can't see the device, I think there is somethink special between two PLAs and the utility only can control PLA through PLA port.

Through your description, I guess that your RAID type is 1 with 2 disks, and did you hear 1 beep after power on? If no, the NAS might not boot up success, so NAS542 can't receive the IP address from router. Try remove all HDDs and boot, if you can hear 1 beep, that means boot finished, and you can set the static IP on…

Hi, You can check following items: 1. How many network interface card in your PC? 2. Utility part has a item let you choose the interface card, is it the correct one? 3. Also you can check the HW LED, do both's homeplug LED light? 4. How about directly connect your PC with one of PLA device. 5. Disable antivirus/firewall…

Hi, What is your platform? I can see my speed of upload and download can upto 80~100Mbps, but sometimes if HDD or PC is busy, then the speed will be dropdown to 60~80Mbps. Here is my test in old post: https://homeforum.zyxel.com/discussion/comment/737#Comment_737

Format your HDD first and take off to other PC, then format the HDD with low level format again. Since some attack will be saved to config, so you should reset your NAS540 to default.You should also continue backup to save all data to prevent any another unkown attack.

If your PC is Windows 10, then you can refer this topic as enable SMB1 on Windows 10. https://homeforum.zyxel.com/discussion/comment/1709#Comment_1709 Moreover, you can also add the network drive through windows explorer.

Hi, Try clean your browser history. And check the NAS has received the correct IP address, then you can use "ping" command as below:
