Initial Setup

1. Prepare storage.

 

- Choose a MicroSD card or USB storage.

 

- Make sure the storage device is formatted with one partition, FAT32 

 

  or FAT64 (exFAT).

NOTE: FAT32 may be used for storage capacity up to 2TB. FAT64 may be used for storage 

capacity up to 4TB. USB hard disks with large sector size will not be compatible. Most retail USB 

hard disks larger than 2TB will have the large sector size.

2. Connect one storage to the WiFi Drive Adapter.

 

- The WiFi Drive Adapter only supports one storage device at a time.

 

- If a MicroSD and USB storage are attached, only the MicroSD will 

 

  work.

 

- The unit will not support multiple USB storage devices or hubs.

 

- If a USB storage device with independent power is connected, use 

 

  the storage device's power supply to power it.

3. Connect the unit to a router using the provided ethernet cable if desired.

4. Connect power to the unit.

5. Use a wireless device with a web browser to connect to the WiFi Drive 

    Adapter.

 

- Use the Wireless settings on the device to locate the network.

 

- The WiFi Drive Adapter's default Wireless network name will be 

 

  “Addonics_WDA” followed by some numbers.

 

- The default wireless password is “12345678”

 

- This step may be skipped if the unit is connected to a router using 

 

  ethernet.

The following steps are optional if customization is desired:

6. Open a web browser and connect to the WiFi Drive Adapter's Web 

    Interface.

 

- If connected using wireless, type 192.168.99.1 into the address bar 

 

  and press Enter.

 

- If connected using ethernet, refer to your router's DHCP Clients 

 

  table to discover the WiFi Adapter's IP address. The unit's default 

 

  hostname will be “Addonics_WDA” followed by some numbers. 

 

  Type that IP address into the address bar on the web browser 

 

  (instead of 192.168.99.1) and press Enter.

 - 

The web interface will ask for a username and password. Type 

 

  “admin” into both (without the qoutes).

7. Change the device name if desired.

 

- This will be the unit's Wireless Network name, as well as its 

 

  Windows Network name.

 - 

This setting is found in the “System Setting” menu.

8. Change the Web Interface password if desired (recommended):

 - 

the default password is “admin”

 - 

the setting is “Admin Password” in the “System Setting” menu.

 - 

This setting only affects the Web Interface.

9. Change the Date and Time if desired (recommended):

 - 

The setting is “Date & Time” in the “System Setting” menu.

 - 

Change the Time Zone before setting the date and time.

 - 

“Sync from internet” is enabled by default.

Always refer to the WiFi Drive Adapter using its IP address. If connecting to 

the unit using wireless networking, the unit's IP address is 192.168.99.1. If 

connecting to the unit using a router it is attached to using ethernet, refer to 

the router's DHCP clients table, or use the static IP address configured in the 

web interface if the unit was configured for Static IP.

To access the WiFi Drive Adapter's storage using a web browser, connect to 

the WiFi Drive Adapter's web interface, then click the WebShare menu. From 

there, click “disk1.” The attached storage device's entire contents will be 

shown on the next page.

To open a folder on the storage device, simply click on it.

To download a file, click on the filename, or to save it to local storage 

right-click (or on Mac systems, Control-click) the filename then choose your 

browser's “Save As” menu option (such as “Save target as...”).

Clicking the Options button on the top of any page opens a small menu, 

where a folder can be created (“Create Folder”), or return to the Web 

Interface main menu (“Go Home”).

Clicking the option button on a file or folder's line opens a small menu where 

that item may be renamed or deleted.

On Windows:

Open a Windows Explorer window, then type two backslashes “\\” followed 

by the WiFi drive adapter's IP address (see “Locating the WiFi Drive Adapter 

on the network”). Then press Enter. Next, open the share “disk1.” The 

attached storage will then be available with full permissions.

On MacOS:

From the Finder menu, choose “Go” then pick “Connect to Server...” In the 

Server Address box, type “smb://” followed by the WiFi Drive Adapter's IP 

address (see “Locating the WiFi Drive Adapter on the network”). Then press 

Enter. Next, open the share “disk1.” The attached storage will then be 

available with full permissions.

System Setting Menu

Device Name: this option changes the WiFi Drive Adapter's Wireless 

Network Name, and also its hostname.

Admin Password: this option changes the password used for accessing the 

Web Interface.

Date&Time: this option is used to change the WiFi Drive Adapter's date and 

time settings. Choose the time zone first, then check “Sync from internet” to 

access time from an Internet connection. If manual settings are desired, 

un-check “Sync from internet,” then either change the date and time fields to 

the settings desired, or click “Sync from your device” to set the time based on 

the computer or device you are using to change the settings.

Power Saving: The WiFi Drive Adapter includes a sleep mode, which places 

the unit and storage into low power mode. This can be set to None, leaving 

the unit active at all times, or a selection of 5 minutes, 10 minutes, or 30 

minutes.

Reboot: this causes the WiFi Drive Adapter to restart.

Shutdown: this option sets the unit immediately into low power mode.

Security: this option may be used to enable or disable WPA2 password 

protection for the WiFi Drive Adapter's wireless network, and if enabled, the 

password may be changed here. The default password is “12345678.”

Internet Access: this option may be used to enable or disable using the WiFi 

Drive Adapter with a wireless Router to connect to the Internet. When 

enabled, a list of available wireless networks is shown. Only networks with no 

authentication or WPA2 authentication with 8 or 13 character passwords are 

supported. This option has no effect if the WiFi Drive Adapter is connected to 

a router using an ethernet cable.

WiFi Channel: this option is used to select the WiFi Drive Adapter's wireless 

network channel. This setting applies to the unit's wireless network, not the 

Internet Access wireless network connection.

This menu is used to configure the WiFi Drive Adapter's ethernet connection 

to a router. By default, the unit will connect using DHCP, and acquire settings 

from the router. This may be changed to “Static” for manually setting an IP 

address, network mask, gateway, and one or two DNS Servers.

Disk format: this option may be used to format the attached storage device. 

NOTE: While the WiFi Drive Adapter supports storage devices up to 4TB in 

capacity, this option may only be used to format storage devices up to 2TB in 

capacity.

Firmware Upgrade: this option is used to update the WiFi Drive Adapter's 

internal operating system firmware. Details on how to perform this upgrade 

will be described in the firmware upgrade release notes.

Factory Default: this option is used to reset the unit to the original settings, 

losing all custom settings. The wireless networking and hostname will revert 

to “Addonics_WDA” followed by some numbers, the wireless network 

password will revert to “12345678,” the Web Interface password will revert to 

“admin” and the WAN settings will revert to DHCP.

Language: this option is used to select the language used by the Web 

Interface.
