Setting up Vero 4K+ basic questions

[Robyn]

Hello,
I just received & connected my Vero 4K+ to my small network. I have two basic issues in order to finalize the setup

1. Even though I can access to my NAS from my win10 laptop, Vero doesn’t see the smb workgroup.

2. More basic, the Vero remote works fine until I shut down the box, but how to switch it on ? I tried all buttons without success so I just unplug/plug power to wake up the box.

Thanks for your help

File sharing with a NAS, media server, windows share or other device

Whether you already have a media sharing system on your network or are setting one up for the first time the options can be bewildering. To stream high-quality video you will want the fastest possible connections. Unfortunately, the easiest systems to set up are also the least efficient so some effort is needed to get the best performance. Here are some recommendations. This assumes you have already set up the wired or wireless LAN connections between the server where you store your media an…

Thanks bmillham, I’ve got a Xyzel 542 NAS, all machines are on wired LAN.

Thanks fzinken, I noticed that SMB 1-3 option but didn’t test it, I will read carefully your post and test all options.

Does your NAS have an NFS option for sharing? If so then I’d strongly recommend that you enable that and use it instead as it will perform better.
