I don't really know the answer to your question. But I just installed this same one over the weekend. I chose to put it in my basement/center of my house (2700 sq ft per floor). I have excellent signal / throughput on both 2.4 and 5 throughout my entire home. Results will very, but worked...

Are there any settings that should maybe be changed on my clients wireless adapter's advanced settings to get higher throughput? I find lots of information here for the wireless routers, but not finding much for the client side of things here or with search the web.

Figuring out how to do it the way I did was a lot of work. But doing it each time I rip a movie is very simple and takes no time at all. Creating the Symbolic links is about as easy as select and drop. Thanks for the info on your Nas setup, I am leaning more towards another Nas. I have...

I do agree that backups are essential, and I have lots of individual hard drives that I use to backup everything that is on my Nas. Here is a little bit about how I have my system setup and why: Originally when I set up my network, I did not plan to have it dependent on a computer to be...

First, here is what my setup consists of, that I use for streaming movies in my home: 1) Qnap 509 Pro in raid 5 with 50 2tb hard drives 95% capacity 1) Netgear 8 port Network switch 1) Dell Studio Slim computer Vista with 2) hard drives, one for Os and all general files and data, and...

I just thought I would post this info in case someone wants to know. I just finished doing a fresh rebuild of my 509 pro, opting to stay with Raid 5. This is what I am using: Firmware 2.1.6 qfinder 3.3.8 0304 New 5 x WD WD20EADS 2TB hard drives The building of the Raid 5...

I have all my data backup on to 4 separate 1 tb hard drives using an esata dock. Speed was really good at 76 to 88 MB/s. Now I have to decide how I am going to setup the new 2tb drives. I was thinking that since I am going to be keeping backups, that I might setup for more capacity by...

Thanks for the advice. I decided to go about it this way. I have ordered a Esata dock and 2 more 1 tb hard drives plus I have 3 x 1tb hard drives already not in use. And I will use that to make copies of my Nas. At least this will give me a total of 10 tb's that I can use as a back up of...

Wow that really bites. But then it to me 14.5 hours to set up the 5 x 1tbs the first time, with no data. Thanks for the reply!

I have 5 x 1 tb hard drives in my Qnap at this time. I want to switch to 5 x 2tb hard drives. But at the moment I don't have the ability to back that much storage up on anything else. I am using Raid 5, with 90 percent used on my hard drives. So here is my questions. If I remove one drive...
