    What switch do I really need?

    I'm setting up a surveillance system. I have to use a P2P bridge between 2 buildings at 2 different sites. The bridges I'm using are a Ubiquiti bridge. When I was on another forum that dealt with cameras, many said that I should make my whole system Ubiquiti. Well, that may be great for...

    Looking at adding another node to the my mesh.

    I am thinking about getting an AC68U or P to add to my AiMesh. How far can a person put the node so it is still a viable and powerful enough router. I have my main router in the basement, wired to a 68U upstairs as part of a node to my AiMesh. The other node will be in my garage and it will...

    Working remotely.

    My brother-in-law has a Synology 418. He wants to be able to remotely access jpegs and be able to edit them in lightroom. Is the only way to do it by downloading it from the NAS into the computer he is remotely accessing it from? He also wants to get his excel documents and be able to edit...

    Yahoo and yahoo mail problem

    This is as close to my category as I can get I guess. Yesterday, I was working on the computer, working in yahoo and going to my email. I had no problems at all. Then last night my wife was going to go on to her yahoo mail and it just wouldn't go. I then tried and it didn't work. I went into...

    WAN or LAN port???????

    I have my RT-AC86U as my main router downstairs with Merlin firmware. I have an older RT-AC56R upstairs with Asus firmware because I don't seem to find any Merlin firmware for it. Anyway, I have seen so many conflicting reports of what to do when hooking up the cable I don't know what to do...

    What router seems to work best with the RT-AC86U in AiMesh?

    I have the RT-AC86U. I am looking for another router that works best in the AiMesh system . I don't want to spend near as much as the 86U cost, so I was wondering what people have found to be the best router match for the mesh system? I will have the other router hardwired if that is relevant.

    Modem question

    I am finally switching internet companies. I am needing a cable modem and they say it needs to be a Docsis 3. There are so many out there. Does the cable modem make a difference? I have never used one before so I'm kind of new to the cable modem stuff. Thanks.

    RT-AC86u router acting strangely

    I installed a router for a friend of mine. It is the 86u. He is having issues with it though. If he goes on the router and links to the main SSID name, all it does is sit and buffer most of the time he says. He will then switch to the guest and it works perfectly, so he is content with just...

    Mapped drives won't reconnect after restart?

    I have checked the box to reconnect after restart but my mapped drives to my NAS won't reconnect after I restart my computer. They will reconnect after I click on them which only takes a couple of minutes but for some reason they won't do it after a restart. Has anyone else ever had this...

    Status abnormal!!

    Today, my cloud station client say status abnormal. Account does not have write privileges. When I go in and check to see what doesn't, it shows the plex account does not have write privileges. It says download only. Is that necessary? What do most people have with that account? Thanks.

    I just got my DS1618+, and have a question on setting up folders.

    I just got my new NAS to use as my main NAS and will put my other one as its backup. My question is about folder setup. What seems to be the best or most used way of syncing documents, pictures etc. to my NAS from computer? How do you organize your NAS? The way I have it on my older NAS is...

    Which NAS would you choose? Synology DS1618+ or QNAP TS-673??

    I have decided to not build my own so don't even go there. ;) If you were to pick between these 2 NAS, which one would you choose and why? I'm just needing a little push one way or another. Thanks.

    What is the newest 6 bay from QNAP?

    I bought a NAS a bunch of years ago but came to find out that within 5 years of owning it was end of life and no more support. I don't like to have anything like that so I'm trying to find a NAS that has a greater potential of lasting longer without going through another EOL. Does anyone know...

    Raid 5 question

    I have an older model of a Synology NAS. 1010+ 5 bay. I am using Raid 5. I have added two new HDD and each was 2TB (1.863TB) more for a total of 4TB (3.726TB). I have a total of 14TB of HDD but it says that I only have 7.2TB in Storage Manager. What am I doing wrong? Am I just wasting...

    Do I need an access point or something different?

    I have an AT&T router that is for my internet and is required to make my system work, so there will be no changes to that. Where I have my main router located the signal does not reach the other side of the house. I have my house wired with Cat 5e. Can I hook an access point to the Ethernet I...

    Which router would be best for my situation?

    We're looking to get a new gig router but don't know for sure which one would best fit our needs. Our problem is we don't have super fast internet (12megs) and we need better range and better multiple user handling. We have a Linksys E1500 right now which is not a gig router and is not dual...

    Is 41 degrees C too hot?

    I am debating on whether to place my NAS in a closed cabinet. The temp goes from Disk 1 - 37, Disk 2 - 39, Disk 3 - 39 to 1 - 40, 2 - 41, 3 - 41. Is that too hot. The reason why the cabinet is because the area it will be in outside the cabinet is a dusty area and that is beyond my control. I...

    User settings?

    What is the best way to set up users? There will be three computers in the house and no one will have any more privileges than the other. All will be saving things to a QNAP 451+. All would be an administrator, and all info would tend to be shared. I'm not sure if I should just leave everyone as...
