My problem is there are no ethernet cable that goes there... I won't fish a cable from my basement to the first floor. Do you think it could be a great option to put a switche at my room over the garage ethernet wall plate, and then plug a cable from the switch to my main computer and another...

Hi everyone, I hope you all going well! I'm tired of a not having a good home network setup, I often lose wireless signal when i'm at the 1st floor. Hell, I have a better Wi-Fi signal from my neighborhood than mine! Crazy. My router is from my ISP and it's in my basement because that's where...

Hi everyone, I have the Bell hub 3000 as a modem/router in my house. It's located in my basement and the signal is very poor when I'm at the 1st floor. So I'm looking to buy a Wi-Fi extender that work with the Bell hub 3000. Any idea? Thank you in advance

I have pulled the trigger on the Synology DS216+ with a Crucial 8gb RAM. I'm gonna follow this guide to upgrade the ram on the DS216+. Thank you all for your time and advices

So if the plus model is not a good value you basicly say go with the qnap?

On Synology website, it say that the processos is a N3050 https://www.synology.com/en-global/products/DS216+#spec Am I missing something?

http://blog.fedorov.com.au/2016/02/how-to-upgrade-memory-in-synology-ds216.html It say that it will void the warranty

Yeah... the problem is that a 4 bay nas is near 1k vs 400$ for a 2 bay... I can't justify spending that much for a NAS when all I want to do is sharing medias files from a unified place. The DS-216+ can have more RAM (warranty void) if needed. Its really about the N3150 vs the N3050 for a 250$...

If I understand it correctly... you configure 2x RAID1. 1x Raid1 for the OS (2 hard drive) 1x Raid1 for the actual data (2 hard drive) for a total of 4 hard drives. Bu why just the OS for 2 drive? I must not understand something...? The os should not take much space, so its kinda waste of space no?

Oops, my title is misleading, I mean TS-253a vs the DS-216+. In my last paragraph, I was talk about the good model, my title is a fail on my side, excuse me. The title is now changed. Why you don't consider 2 bay NAS as a true NAS solution? With harddrive that can go up to 8tb per drive, I only...

Hi everyone, I'm gonna pull the trigger on one of the two models: TS-253a from QNAP or the DS-216+ from Synology. I'm a debutant in the NAS world, so I wonder which one is more easy to understand and configure. Also, the TS-253A is about 250$ more, is it worth it or the DS-216+ will do the job...

For some reason, I can't edit my 1st post. I would like to add to the point # 7 - build my own HTPC - go with a NUC

Hi SNB's community, I would the need of the community to understand and get it right my next shared media center project. It is divised in 9 points that will explain clearly (well, sorry for my poor english) my situation. I would like to thank you right away for your time. 1- What files with be...

Maybe because of the indexation. My firmware version is 4.2

Hi, I have bought a QNAP HS-251, 1g model and I find that the NAS is very sluggish when I try to access my music on Kodi via Hybrid Desk Station. I have more than 60k song in my library, maybe that cause the issue? I'm just wondering if its normal that the NAS should be very slow? Maybe i'm...
