    need buying advice for router/modem

    I'm looking for a router that can be used with different internet providers. I'm moving from ATT Uverse internet to a cable provider for a year, then to a fiber provider hopefully. It's getting old having to learn and reconfigure different provider hardware, so if I can get a router that I can...

    how to connect 2 buildings without hardwiring?

    You guys are the best advice around. My Qnap and Synology are doing exactly as I was wanting. New project... I'm trying to get my parents' shops connected. I've spent some time searching through the forums to find a similar case. This one is the closest I could find...

    DS214Play performance comparable to DS415Play?

    Any thoughts on the performance of the DS214Play? I didn't see anything in the charts, even though some of the 4-bays of a particular model were used to generate 2-bay data. I looked on Synology's site and all the 214Play's hardware matches the 415Play's, save for the 214Play's esata and sd...

    How much delay should I expect running a router behind a router/modem (UVerse 2wire)?

    I'm wondering if I have some settings incorrectly configured. I decided to try running a router behind the required modem/router combo required for UVerse service. I have a DLink 820L cloud router that I connected to the 2Wire. I usually connect wirelessly with my laptop. It seems that...

    qnap ts-451 review?

    Any word on when SmallNetBuilder will be doing a review of the TS-451, or -251? I'm interested in seeing how it compares to the DS415Play. I've read a few other reviews, but the "it looks good in my entertainment center" type of review does nothing for me. I find SNB's reviews provide...

    advice on short list--DS213j, NSA325 v2, TS220

    Thanks to the moderators and regulars for your help. Your posts on this forum saved me from making an uninformed decision, and maybe even a bad one. I've been reading up on these units, including the manuals (at about 80pp each, except Zyxel at 320pp! ). I put to gether a list of ~$200...

    How important is a USB 3 connection? How about eSATA?

    For a home-use NAS, how important should a USB 3 connection be? USB 3 has been out for quite a while, but there are still quite a few newer NASes without it. I plan to use the USB mostly to make weekly backups using a 1TB portable drive. Maybe a little file transferring from smaller (16GB)...

    NAS Review, Ranker, and Finder prices update?

    First, I can't say how much the site and forum has helped me. I've got a much better understanding of hardware. I've been trying to figure out what unit would be right for me. As I've been reading through the great info, I've noticed the pricing being off. I started narrowing my search...

    Need advice on some NAS details

    I'm looking at getting a NAS for home use. I've read the sticky, looked at charts, and read reviews. Price is the most important factor since drives are cheap. With low pricing, I don't expect top-chart speeds and I don't need those speeds. I'm looking at storage mainly, remote viewing...
