How to Access ReadyNAS Duo Over the Internet

If your computer resides on the same network as your ReadyNAS Duo, you can access your shared data without needing to install any additional software. Simply search for the hostname or IP address of your network-attached storage in File Explorer, or browse for the device in RAIDar. To log in to the NAS from a remote location, however, you must install and configure ReadyNAS Remote on your Duo and on the appropriate computer. The ReadyNAS Remote agent will allow you to access the NAS as if you were on the same network.
