    Hot Swapping 2 bigger HDD's into my TS-251+ Raid-1 ...

    The answer was posted in the QNAP forum where you posted the same question.

    Solved Wired and Wireless Router

    Buy one from somewhere with a good return policy. Try it and see if it resolves any of your issues, then decide to return it or not.

    How to recover lost files from Synology NAS DS415+

    And maybe consider a proper backup strategy for the future so you aren't scrambling trying to figure out how to recover data. Essentially, you got lucky this time. It may not be the same next time :)

    Securing a NAS without using a VPN

    Do a quick Google search on "NAS malware" and you may want to rethink exposing your NAS to outside access without a VPN.

    These types of Apple devices/services should be outlawed. No security fix is available at all

    I just keep my frequency jammer running 24/7 except when I'm running my RF scanner.

    Two ISP in same network, and choose whatever you like instantly (AX68u)

    When I had a primary (personal) and a secondary (work) ISP, I just setup both routers in the same subnet (with unique IP addresses of course). I would then just switch my default gateway to whichever one I wanted to use.

    CAT5e still shows 10/100...

    I'm m old school. Ive never used a wire cutter / stripper to remove the sheathing, I always use a utility knife to score it, then remove it by hand. I've also never used a pass thru connector. I like the idea, maybe not valid, that the wire is not exposed to moisture for longevity purposes...

    CAT5e still shows 10/100...

    Putting an rj45 connector on the end of a cable isn't always as easy as a couple of pictures make it out to be. In learning, I went through dozens of connectors until practice make it perfect. it takes a while to get things to fit just right the wires have to be trimmed straight so that they can...

    How exactly do IoT smart devices pose a threat to home networks?

    Many of these tiny devices also never receive any sort of security update, and moist have hard coded firmware that is not updatable. This isn't to say that they will ever be compromised, but if thousands (or hundreds of thousands) of them are out there, they *could* pose a threat to your...

    DLINK NAS 323 issue

    I still run 3 x DNS323 boxes. Love them other than the HDD size limits. You should consider FFP0.5 as it allows for great customization. http://dns323.kood.org/howto:1st_steps You may not need to boot linux. I believe an ext2fs driver for windows will give you access to the drives.

    port 80 unable for login

    Sounds like you may be in need of resetting to default and configuring from scratch manually to rule out corruption.

    Segmentation Faults/Tainted Binaries/Inconclusive Disk Scans and other woes... ;)

    You could always try running without any scripts or USB stick and see how stable it is :) Never had a need for them myself. I offload as much as I can to other devices such as a raspberry pi so that my router can focus all resources on the basics, routing.

    NAS lifespan

    Raid is not a backup. Sounds like you have no protection against accidental file deletion, malware, ransomware, fire, theft, NAS failure and many other things. I hope the data on the NAS is not particularly important to you or your first consideration should be a backup strategy that reflects...

    HBS 3 NAS Backup

    HBS3 doesn't have that option. You can use a script, rsync or other utility to move files between share though. https://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=168223
