-===== FAQ ===== +Run HDHomeRun Setup, go the the DVR tab, and click the NAS Install button. 
-Q: Why install this app? \\ +</panel>
-A: Installing this app bypasses the need to run NAS INSTALL (create a share folder, enable SSH, etc), or manually setup the NAS. +
  
-Q: If the NAS loses power or reboots will the Record Engine autostart? \\ +<panel type="success" title="Step 3"><image shape="thumbnail">{{ :step_4_-_nas_install_1_-_select_nas.png?direct&600|}}</image> 
-A: Yes.+**Select your NAS from detected devices:**
  
-Q: Do I need to create a Share Folder titled HDHomeRun? Where are recordings saved? \\ +The application will auto-detect possible NAS devices on your network using UPnP. Double click on your NAS device to continue. 
-A: No, you do not. If you're setting up a brand new My Cloud, recordings will be saved to Public\HDHomeRun. If you already have an HDHomeRun folder in the ROOT of the NAS, the Record Engine will continue to use the existing folder.+</panel>

 +If SSH access is not enabled you will see the message "Please enable SSH access".
 +
 +<wrap tip>Western Digital now uses "sshd" instead of "root" for the ssh username.</wrap>
 +
 +The install program will auto-detect when SSH has been enabled and then ask you to enter your username and password.
