The INTERNET port on the back of the Wireless Space will change
function with the Base Mode (3.6.10.1. Configuration Basics).
This section describes how best to use the INTERNET port when
in NAS+Switch mode. See 4.6. INTERNET Port: NAS+Router for
further information on the INTERNET port function in NAS+Router

Recovery
The INTERNET port (Fig. 99) is a big help if there are problems
communicating with the Wireless Space using any of the three LAN
ports or via Wi-Fi (NAS+Switch Wireless Client and Wireless Access
Point). Signs of a potential communication problem include:
✦ LaCie Network Assistant lists the Wireless Space but the web
browser responds only with errors when typing the name or IP
address in the URL field.
✦ LaCie Network Assistant does not list the Wireless Space even
though it is properly connected via Ethernet or Wi-Fi.
✦ The front light is solid green or blue and the Ethernet lights
in the back are both green or green and yellow, yet the web
browser and/or LaCie Network Assistant cannot reach the
Wireless Space.
✦ The browser continues to respond with errors when attempting
to load the Dashboard with the device name or its last known
IP address.
To troubleshoot the Wireless Space using the Recovery function:
1. Disconnect the Wireless Space from all LAN Ethernet ports.
2. Turn off or disconnect from any wireless service on the com-
puter.
3. Confirm that the computer’s network IP address setting is DHCP.
4. Connect a computer directly to the INTERNET port on the back
of the Wireless Space (Fig. 100).
5. Click on the LaCie Network Assistant icon in the menu (Mac) or
system tray (Windows) to find the Wireless Space. (Fig. 101).
