Windows also shows the devices Serial Number; MAC address; Unique identifier; and local ip address.
I also have an xPenology server running DSM 6.2.3-25426 Update 3which Windows 11 simply sees as a Plex Media Server (admittedly the NAS is running Plex (as is also the DS1513+). I am also aware that a Qnap NAS is also identified by Windows as a NAS device; and I think other genuine manufactured devices NAS are similarly identified by Windows.
My xPenology NAS is only identified by Windows by the Plex version (as Model number); with Serial number unavailable. Unique identifier, MAC address and IP address are identified by Windows.
My question is, has anyone managed to get their xpenology NAS recognised by Windows as a NAS device. I certainly have no issues connecting with either NAS across the network. But I would dearly like to find a way of getting Windows to recognise the xpenology device as a NAS - particularly for the purposes of software apps specifically aimed at NAS devices on the network, as distinct from network ip addresses.
