QMiroPlus-201W

Scenario

I recently bought a QMiroPlus-201W and tried to install it. I was good while the NAS was directly connected to my PC. But when I try to put the NAS on my home network, Qfinder is not able to see the NAS.

Solution

The QMiroPlus-201W is a hybrid router and NAS device. This article describes how to physically install and initialize your QMiroPlus-201W for first-time setup.

1. Before you begin

Make sure you have:

• QMiroPlus-201W device and its power adapter
• At least two Ethernet cables (Cat 5e or above)
• Your ISP internet box/router
• A computer (Windows or macOS)
• Access to your home network

2. Step-by-Step Setup

Step 1 - Physical Connections 

1. Connect the QMiroPlus-201W to the power source.

2. Connect the QMiroPlus-201W WAN port to your Internet router using one Ethernet cable.

3. Connect the QMiroPlus-201W LAN port to your computer using another Ethernet cable.

4. Power on the QMiroPlus-201W and wait until the status LED turns solid blue (ready).

Step 2 - Initialize Configuration

1. Download & install Qfinder Pro from:
   https://www.qnap.com/utilities

2. Open Qfinder Pro and wait for it to detect your QMiroPlus-201W.

3. In Qfinder, you should see two entries for your device:

   • Router interface (QuRouter OS) – usually IP 192.168.201.1

   • NAS interface (QTS OS) – usually IP 192.168.201.xxx
     Example:
     
     

4. Double-click the NAS entry (QTS) to open its web interface in your browser.

5. Follow the Smart Installation Guide to set:

   • Device name

   • Admin password

   • Network settings

2.1  Using QMiroPlus-201W as NAS Only 

Besides the above standard wired installation (WAN + LAN connection), you can also choose the alternative NAS-only usage (LAN-only, WAN unused)

1. Lauch QuRouter App on the desktop

2. Go to Network → WAN and LAN → LAN Settings → DHCP Settings → Choose None to disable DHCP service

3. Connect the QMiroPlus-201W LAN port to your Internet router.

4. Do not connect WAN port. 

5. Connect the QMiroPlus-201W LAN port to your netwotk switch or you computer.

6. Access via Qfinder

3. Troubleshooting: Qfinder Can't Detect the NAS

If Qfinder Pro does not see your QMiroPlus-201W:

Check Cabling

• Ensure both Ethernet cables are firmly connected to the correct ports.

• Try another Ethernet cable or another port on your router/switch.

Check Network

• Confirm your PC and QMiroPlus-201W are on the same subnet.

• If unsure, temporarily connect your PC directly to the QMiroPlus-201W LAN port.

Disable Firewalls Temporarily

• Some firewall/antivirus software may block Qfinder broadcasts. Temporarily disable them and try again.

Direct IP Access

• Log in to your Internet router’s web interface.

• Look for the device named QNAP or QMiroPlus-201W in the DHCP client list.

• Copy its IP address and paste it into your browser’s address bar.
