How to Login

To configure the settings of your network drive, open the web browser, enter the IP address of your device and then use the web interface. If you don’t know its IP address, use the Nettool application or use the web portal and the MAC address of your device to login.

Default Login

Server Name MAC address (see sticker on your device)
Username admin
Password admin
Before attempting to access the device over the network connection, make sure the USB cable has been disconnected and the drive is connected to the same local network as your computer.

Login via Web Browser

The login via web browser does not require any installation of additional programs or setup of your network router.

  1. Launch your web browser.

  2. Go to http://myFantec.com or https://myFantec.com.

  3. Your default server name is the MAC address. You can find this number on a sticker either on the retail packaging or the device itself.

  4. After you click the Enter button it will open the web interface of your NAS.

  5. You can also login directly by using this syntax: http://xxx.myFantec.com. The “xxx” should be replaced by your server name (MAC address without colon).

  6. Click on any of the icons for further settings and a pop-up window will ask for your login credentials.

If the checkbox Remember me is checked, the web browser will remember the username that was just typed in. The next time you go to myFantec.com, the username box will be filled in automatically.
