How to set a static IP address on a LinkStation LS520D

Last Updated: 10/14/2024


Before you begin this procedure you must decide on the IP address that will be assigned to the LinkStation. Make certain that you assign an address that is outside the range being assigned by any DHCP server (such as a wireless router). If you are uncertain about what address range is being used by your wireless router please refer to the owner’s manual for the router.

  1. Access the LinkStation interface by entering the current IP address of the unit into a web browser. If the current IP is unknown the unit can be located with NAS Navigator. If NAS Navigator is not installed follow the steps here for either Windows or Mac.
  2. From the LinkStation desktop, click on the “Settings” icon in the quick launch bar on the right.
  3. In the System Settings, click on the “Network” icon in the bottom row under “System”.
  4. Click on the “Network Settings” tab. 
  5. Click on the “Static IP” radio button. Put in the desired IP Address, Subnet Mask, etc. for the LinkStation. A gateway and DNS server is required.
