QNAP TS-453D-8G user manual

The default password for QNAP NAS devices, including the TS-453D-8G, is usually "admin" (without the quotes). However, it is highly recommended to change the default password to a more secure one after initial setup to enhance the security of your device.

No, the QNAP TS-453D-8G does not have built-in WiFi. However, it does have two Gigabit Ethernet ports for network connectivity. If you require wireless connectivity, you will need to use an external WiFi adapter or connect the NAS to a WiFi router using an Ethernet cable.

To rebuild a QNAP NAS from scratch, follow the steps below:
1. Disconnect the QNAP NAS from the power source and remove all the hard drives.

3. Power on the NAS and wait for a few minutes until the NAS gets an IP address from the computer.
4. Open a web browser on your computer and enter the NAS's IP address in the address bar.
5. You will be directed to the QNAP setup wizard. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your NAS.
6. Once the setup is complete, power off the NAS.

8. Power on the NAS again and wait for it to initialize the hard drives.
