    NAS or Hard drive ?

    Hi teknojnky, Well apparently you can add external storage (and stream using the Twonky and Squeezecenter software installed on the NAS) as long as it is on the compatibility list for your particular NAS. So I have now ordered this...

    NAS or Hard drive ?

    Thanks teknojnky. Yes, my NAS has a USB connection. Would I be right in saying then that if I connect a hard drive to this USB port and load my video/audio files onto it that I would be able to stream those files via the software installed on the NAS ? Sorry if I sound a bit thick.

    NAS or Hard drive ?

    I have a Qnap TS-109 which I have 'filled' and want to add another device to my network. Do I need to buy another NAS or is there a less expensive method I can use to store video/audio files and stream them in the same way as I do now ? I take it I can't daisy-change NAS devices ?

    Router upgrade - I'm going round in circles.

    Yes :D. Don't ask me why it was like that, must have always been that way. Thanks for your help too :). Never did get a new router did I :D.

    Router upgrade - I'm going round in circles.

    I tried that and it made no difference. Now I have bought myself an external usb gigabit adaptor to which I will connect a gigabit switch and hopefully I should get higher transfer rates. It's all so complicated.

    Router upgrade - I'm going round in circles.

    Thanks for helping though. So a gigabit switch wouldn't help then ? With regard to ripping (Grr) I just transferred a re-rip to the Nas which I had checked first and it was fine. However, when I viewed it I would need to speak French :eek:. But yes, can anyone please help ? EDIT:By the looks...

    Router upgrade - I'm going round in circles.

    What would you suggest is the cause for the slow transfer ? By mistakes I meant that when I viewed what I had ripped I would have the commentary running throughout the film or the swearing would be bleeped out or I had inadvertently selected the incorrect language when ripping. I couldn't view...

    Router upgrade - I'm going round in circles.

    Five minutes.........holy moly :eek::eek:. That would be heaven. Please tell me how - I can't work out what I need and I have researched as you know. I have a whole folder on Firefox regarding routers et al. I have made a couple of mistakes when transferring movies to my Nas (wrong language...

    Router upgrade - I'm going round in circles.

    You see I have learnt lots of things from your posts now - excellent. I mean if I contact a supplier here regarding routers they will just do that i.e. give me advice on routers. I never knew I could get an ADSL (in my case) modem and a separate router - I can live with two boxes. MY pc has...

    Router upgrade - I'm going round in circles.

    Thanks for the reply. I must say though please excuse my lack of expertise as I am not completely au fait with some of the technical language which you employ. I have phoned my ISP regarding my connection problem and they don't actually recommend any particular brand or model of router -...

    Router upgrade - I'm going round in circles.

    My router keeps losing connection. I have ruled out other causes such as my ISP and phone line - the phone line has been replaced by BT and is working according to a BT test and my ISP reports no problems (!). I'm going round in circles because everytime I think I have found a good router I...

    Router upgrade - I'm going round in circles.

    My current router (Linksys WAG200G) is in need of an upgrade and I simply cannot make my mind up. I have trawled the net and asked MANY questions and I'm still no further....in fact I'm even more confused. Luckily I happened upon this website mentioned in another forum - can you help ? I have...
