ZyXEL NAS Link Capture

Creates a right-click context menu to send a link to your ZyXEL home NAS device.AUTHOR'S NOTE: If you get some kind of error with "nsa210 cannot be found", most likely your computer or something in your local network is misbehaving. Go into the extension's options and change the name to the IP of your device (screenshot #4). That should fix it!

UPDATE: You can now choose a different subdirectory for the "Download service" in case you have a newer firmware. Tested on ZyXEL NSA325s V2. If ZyXEL decide to change the directory again in the future, advanced users may specify a custom subdirectory.


ZyXEL's NSA210 has a really nifty Download Service with a cool plugin for Firefox and IE provided on the installation disc. This extension now makes that functionality available to Chrome!

You don't need to download a large file to your computer and then move it to the NAS. You don't even have to wait for the download to complete before shutting down your computer!

Simply right click on any link or image and click the new menu item to send the link to your NSA210; it will begin downloading your file on its own! You can even select some text and send that to your NAS; it will try to download your selection as if it were a URL.

As a lovely side-effect of the way the NSA210 works, if you send it a torrent file it will connect to the trackers and download the torrent!

This extension may work with other ZyXEL NAS devices, but has only been tested with the NSA210.

The "Download Service" must be enabled on your NSA210 for this extension to work. The extension also requires your NAS's IP address or network name. You may be asked to log in to your NAS quite often; this is due to the cookie life expectancy set by ZyXEL and is controlled by the NAS, not the extension.

I am not employed by ZyXEL or affiliated with them in any way. I'm simply a customer, like you, who paid for a product and wants to use all of its features.
