Wenda

Wenda is a Synology Diskstation DS218J

Wenda is a NAS, so, I store files on it.

DSM version 7.2.2

MAC address: 00:11:32:a2:03:43

History

• 2024-11-21 Trying to reset this thing so it works again. Installed DSM from scratch. I had to enabled DHCP on the ERX router, because Wenda is the DHCP server and after a reset, it needs to be a DHCP client instead. After this round of changes I left the DHCP server on the router.
• 2024-11-19 Ordered 2 7200RPM Seagate Iron Wolf 12TB drives.
• 2024-11-18 Here is the situation. Wenda has a bwilson account, but I changed something somewhere so bwilson is in /etc/passwd but does not show up in "Users & Groups" in the WUI. I am going to make a copy of everything then do a factory reset. I'd prefer to replace the whole box with a Real Computer but not today. It costs money.

• 2020-02-02 WD Red 8TB NAS Hard Disk Drive - 5400 RPM Class SATA 6Gb/s 256MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD80EFAX
• 2019-06-19 Purchased from Newegg. Used a couple drives that I had on the shelf initially.

Services

• DHCP Server
• Synology Drive
• Photo Station and Moments.

Printing

Brother HL-L2320D laser printer is on a USB port and shows up as "usbprinter1".

Windows

The way to get printing working on Windows was to install Synology Assistant and then let it locate Wenda and the printer. I downloaded and installed the Brother drivers first.

Mac

Finds it over Bonjour. Select the printer driver manually.

Linux Mint

I don't remember doing anything special, it just showed up when I looked for printers. Probably Bonjour.
