    2 NAS which can reliably two-way sync

    Hi, I would like to buy an entry level 2 disk NAS and a better workgroup performance 4 disk NAS, which can reliably sync over the internet. Would Synology NAS-es be a good candidate for this? Like a 216J + 415+ or 416 pair? Or are other brands better in this regard? The 2 bay one would have...

    Guest network on APs

    I'd like to set up wireless guest networks, and I'm not yet understanding how it works properly.

I don't want any special features, just the standard NAT + DHCP + port forward. However, it would be really...
