GENERAL PREPARATION
1) Go to Buffalo web-site, buffalotech.com, download the following:
- firmware update, comes with LSupdater program
- unzip file
Note: At the time of this writing, our NAS came with firmware version 1.01. The
update is version 1.31. To the best of my understanding, the drive(s) installed in
the NAS stores the firmware data, it is not written to the hardware. LSupdater
writes the firmware to the hardware and the drive. LSupdater also forces drive
initialization and formatting. There are options to turn on or off formatting.
2) Use a WIRED computer on your network, not wireless
3) Enable DHCP on Router, if disabled
3) Install Buffalo Navigator software from CD that came with NAS
