So here it is - I am looking for a good wireless router + NAS solution, and here are the options I have come up with:
1) Linksys WRT1900AC + USB 3.0 HDD (60-70MB/s write speeds)
2) Asus RT-AC68U + Thecus N2310 SOHO (or other NAS???)
3) Netgear Nighthawk + Thecus N2310 SOHO (again, or other??)
4) Netgear Nighthawk + USB 3.0 HDD
Here is what I am wanting:
- A wireless router with great range for a 1700 sq foot house and in the yard. I think all of the above with perform fine with this. For NAS, I want to be able to access the files from anywhere in the world (FTP, all have) and on mobile devices. DLNA (all have) and other streaming options would be nice. Needing 40MB/s minimum transfer speed on the NAS. Farthest distance from router would be 75 feet through a few walls.
Cost - Want the cost to not be outrageous... not looking at buying a $400+ dedicated NAS. Want to keep costs lower as my internet connection is only 10Mb/s down and 800Kb/s up. Just want fast transfer speeds on the NAS through Wireless N (on the laptop side, NAS would be either USB or Ethernet as described above), and good range for internet.
Thanks!
