    need input on setting up DS1511+ with DIR-825 router

    Tim: Replaced the DIR-825 with a Linksys e4200. Everything seems to work great! After days and days and days (and days) of trial and error on the DS1511+, I think the frustration is over. Bad switch on the router - who would have guessed! Now on to the tasks of optimizing the settings...

    need input on setting up DS1511+ with DIR-825 router

    Tim: I got the E4200 today and I will try it in the morning. I do want everything in one package so I am hoping this solves it. I read your article about optimizing router speed by running N and G using separate devices. So I am 100% clear, does it also matter in this case as the e4200 has...

    need input on setting up DS1511+ with DIR-825 router

    Tim: Million thanks for your reply. I hate the feeling of being stuck! I would never guess about the possibility of router incompatibility - especially since the DIR 825 is common.. The NAS is still attached to the WRT54G LAN. I will hook it back up to the DIR-825 LAN and ping it...

    mirror a remote folder with NAS

    Tim and all: Thank you for your valuable input. It definitely clears up this question in my mind and I also take your warning about real time replication at heart. I am still reading on the alternatives but I think I will pull the trigger on either a qnap 259 p+ or a Synology DS710+ soon...

    mirror a remote folder with NAS

    Tim: Given the rsync on Qnap or Synology is on scheduled only, do you know of any system that allows real time? Also, when you use Synology or QNAP to backup your remote computer, can you access files/folders in the backup? I would love to know about this. Your input has been...

    mirror a remote folder with NAS

    Hi everyone! I have a question I hope you can help me with. My first NAS was an Acer EasyStore WHS. I was not too impressed with it, and right after one year its LAN port went belly up. So now I am back looking for a replacement. I did not have a good experience with WHS, so this...

    Acer Easystore H340 network problem

    Hi guys: I got an Acer Easystore H340 back on 6/09. I haven't really done much with it except using it as a backup server. Well, recently the system stopped responding - none of my computers can connect to it, and when I looked at the network port, I don't see the usual green/amber light...

    Acer Aspire easyStore AH340-UA230N

    tim: this is awesome! Thank you! Is there a similar site for plugins for Qnap? In the end I think it's a toss up between the Acer AH340 and Qnap 239. Each has pluses and minuses. If you are in the market, which would you buy? And btw, when is the release of Qnap Ajax interface...
