Considering that I was almost expecting it to fail I think you are very right to be preachy, I'm thinking about getting a external drive to have some place to recover this data to, and serve as a backup to the new NAS I'm getting (Synology 415play I think its called). Any suggestions as to what...

So the day has come, the one everyone who made the mistake of buying a Seagate NAS should anticipate, that my NAS has gone FUBAR, my brother who had the same type also had his go SNAFU. These were BlackArmor 400 and have been trouble, always. Really unreliable. Well I was starting to expect...

The main DSL modem/router is in the basement and its WiFi range is very weak on the upper floors. So we placed a AP on the top floor that has a CAT to the router. Now we set it up with the same settings on a SSID and it seems to work, though we are not sure and my brother (it is his house)...

So I've tried a lot of things for my brothers Xbox One but we always get strict Nat while playing Call of Duty Black Ops III. Port forwarding to the consoles static Ip address just doesn't help for some reason. One thing I tried was a option in his ISP's supplied Technicolor TG789vac to...

Nope, not that I'm aware of. My NAS is the crappy Seagate BlackArmor. I have longterm plans to get me a new one, but can't afford it right now.

Hope it's ok to ask this here. So I have a huge amount of photos from various sources on my NAS, my phone and my SO's phone are also both synced to dump photos on the NAS when inside the network (Android and iOs phones). There is no or little organization there and it's different between the...

The NAS drive does support it as either link aggregation or failover (whatever that means). Thing is each lan port gets it's own IP address, so if I NFS connect to to one address I should be using that one only right? I was always just using one and a SMB system for connecting. This used the...

Adding a switch between the router and the NAS box seems to do the trick. Weird isn't.

So my 4 disk bay NAS has only 3 discs, each one two TB in size. I was wondering if you believe it is possible to add the 4th disc to the array without having to start over? It is setup in Raid 5. I find official support to be almost completely unavailable.

I know the Asus is a wireless router but this problem is happening in the wired part. I have a NAS box (Seagate BlackArmor 400) which I stream from to my Raspberry Pi setup with Xbian XBMC. This all works quite well. Problem was I had the router and NAS in my living room while the fiber optic...
