Glad to hear the setup video helped! When setting a fixed IP address on your AS3304T V2, it’s perfectly normal for the system to ask for primary and secondary DNS servers — these are what the NAS will use to resolve domain names (like websites or software update servers).
If you’re unsure what to use, here are a couple of safe and commonly used options:
• Google DNS:
Primary: 8.8.8.8
Secondary: 8.8.4.4
• Cloudflare DNS:
Primary: 1.1.1.1
Secondary: 1.0.0.1
You can enter either pair. Most users choose Google DNS as it’s widely compatible, but Cloudflare is also a great privacy-focused alternative.
After setting your static IP and DNS, make sure your subnet mask, gateway, and NAS IP are also correct — ideally matching what your router assigned via DHCP originally (with the IP just outside of the router’s auto-DHCP range to avoid conflicts).
