Your AiCloud router may obtain a private IP from a parent router it’s connected to. Without a public IP, AiCloud can only be used in local networks as additional private IP support is currently under development. If your router does not have a public IP, please refer to the following steps to access AiCloud online:
(1) Go the parent router setup page
(2) Input your AiCloud router’s IP address in the parent router’s port forwarding or DMZ list to access private IP addresses remotely. AiCloud requires ports 8082 and 443 be open.
You may also refer to your parent router’s manual for additional setup details.

If your parent router is an ASUS product, you may refer to our port forwarding guide for further details:
http://support.asus.com/search.aspx?SLanguage=en&keyword=ASUSWRT%20port%20forwarding%20

You can also check the DMZ FAQ:
http://support.asus.com/search.aspx?SLanguage=en&keyword=ASUSWRT%20DMZ%20..

When using AiCloud, in rare cases you may see a Local Network notice appear on top of the device list. When you see this, it refers to:

- Your router is not an ASUS router and doesn’t support AiCloud. In this case, AiCloud sees this router and all devices behind it as a local network, so you can access them only via regular Wi-Fi.

- Your router doesn’t have AiCloud enabled. Click Settings and then Quick Setup to launch the AiCloud setup wizard, then follow the on-screen instructions.

- Wi-Fi data packets may be dropped by your mobile devices. Pull down the device list to refresh it.

Press the screen and pull down, then raise your finger. The device list will be refreshed.

Please follow the check list to verify your settings.

1. Your PC must connect to router by network cable.
2. Your PC must be in sleep or hibernate mode.
3. The BIOS must have WOL enabled. For more detail, please refer to http://support.asus.com/Search/KSearch.aspx?SLanguage=en&keyword=WOL

There may be two main reasons for this:

- Media players installed on your device lack the needed decoders for your multimedia content. We recommend MX Player for Android and Ace Player or G Player for iOS.

- Your router doesn’t have AiCloud enabled, and so the app sees your router and devices behind it as a local network. Click Settings and then Quick Setup to launch the AiCloud setup wizard, then follow the on-screen instructions.

For the best experience, a broad band internet connection is required. At least 768Kbps is recommended for music, 5Mbps for standard definition video, 15Mbps for 720p video, and 30Mbps or faster for 1080p HD video streaming. Internet upload speeds may vary depending on your service provider and other factors. If you are not sure what your internet speed is, you may contact your service provider or use an online bandwidth test from a computer connected to an ASUS Router.

After entering the AiCloud web interface, you can click the config icon and click the tab “Share Link”. All the shared files details are listed here.

Smart Sync supports one WebStorage account currently. Multiple account support is in development.

To simplify the Smart Sync setup process and since USB storage is generally bigger than WebStorage space in most cases, Smart Sync supports creating a single folder on USB storage where the entire contents of a WebStorage account can be synced to.

You can type the Key in https://[your ASUS DDNS name].asuscomm.com to access the your AiCloud.

1. This function need HTML5 file API. Currently the Internet Explorer and Safari do not fully support the HTML5 file API. If you want to upload the file via the web interface, please use Google Chrome and Firefox.
2. For security reason, AiCloud does not support root folder file changing. Use secondary folder to upload files.

You can check the AiCloud DDNS name in both the app and firmware.
If you want to change the automatically generated DDNS name, go to firmware Advanced setting --> WAN --> DDNS to set the new DDNS.

Tap the router button, then the router name. In the server URL field, you can see the DDNS name (read only and can’t be changed).

AiCloud provides a secure HTTPS  connection encryped by SSL. Key in https:// [your ASUS DDNS name].asuscomm.com to access the your AiCloud.

For security reason, user names and passwords are not stored on AiCloud, and need to by typed in manually each time. Your browser may asks whether saving password or not. If you do not want the browser save the password. Please choose “do not save password”.

In HTTPS connection, the server hosting( AiCloud router) presents browser with a certificate to verify its identity. Because the certificate is generated by router and not verified come from third party.  You can click the continue  button to enter the AiCloud and do not need to worry. If you want to see the warning again, you can set the AiCloud as trusted site in your browser certificate management menu.

You can login the firmware->AiCloud --> log to see related information.

After enabling the password protect function, you can also see the last login time and IP on the AiCloud web interface, you can use it to check the last login status.

You can define allowable account/password login retry attempts. Go to firmware-> AiCloud --> Settings and you can enable the password protection.

For example, should someone attempt to login to your account more than three times without success, the account automatically locks them out.

You can go to the Setting page to unlock the account should this happen.

The AiCloud server supports the media formats listed below. Your third party media player must also be compatible with these to enable media streaming.
We recommend MX Player for Android, and Aceplayer or Gplayer for iOS.

The AiCloud web interface supports mp3 streaming and jpg for Mac OS. Other media formats streaming are in development.

Windows

Mac OS

Currently the AiCloud support English, the French, German, Italian, Russian, Brazilian, Czech, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Polish, Spanish, Swedish, Thai Turkish, Traditional Chinese and Simply Chinese will be added in the future.
