    Which Format for attached USB drive?

    Wireless print server

    My router does have a built in print server but unfortunately due to the location of it, it is not feasible to have the printer in the same room. I will look into a dedicated print server. Must be fairly low power usage and small.

    configuring DDNS advice needed please

    Is the synology ddns service reliable? or is it better to go with dyndns? and how do you disable uPnP on Synology NAS? I remember listening to a steve gibson podcast a while ago and he mentioned that uPnP exposes devices to the internet which can then be taken advantage of.

    Netgear m4100-D12G inter vlan access

    Are you able to run debugs on these devices? like for example see what the arp packets look like or pings.
