  How do I log into the web interface of a second/mesh router
Posted by: Enquiries - 05-05-2023, 05:00 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

I have a wired MR2200ac router, and a second/mesh/wifi MR2200ac. How do I access the web interface on the *second/mesh* router? When I go into CONTROL PANEL--SYSTEM in my web browser, only the settings for the main router seem to be listed. Thanks in advance for your help with this.

Posted by: Enquiries - 05-05-2023, 11:30 AM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Hey watched your video about the QNAP TS-453E vs Synology DS920+ NAS 4 Bay saw that Synology has a new one out called the ds923+ & DS423+.

Ideally, I just need a place to securely store my video podcasts and then videos for some work and film projects over life.

I have 0 knowledge about NAS systems but I do like the idea of being able to work remotely from my NAS system as that'd be great, not sure if that's possible on my budget or not.

I use a 16 inch Macbook Pro so I do like the idea of accompanying software to be easy to install and use.

Look forward to your feedback.

  First NAS sti
Posted by: Enquiries - 05-05-2023, 10:30 AM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

My first foray into NAS
I'm looking for a quiet NAS with storage to accommodate 3 PC backups. Also to use as a Plex server. Eventually to store surveillance camera video, plus store about 400GB photos and 1TB of video. 2.5 GbE network connectivity and integrated graphics required. My initial stab at 12TB may be over the top. I like to think I'm computer literate, I was an IT performance tester for many years, now retired. I'm leaning towards a 4 bay Qnap, Synology will also do, is this a good choice and how much storage and what RAID would you recommend? Thank you.

Can I use my Qnap ts-464 as a cloud for my Apple products and where can I find information to do so?
Thanks

  NAS for photos
Posted by: Enquiries - 05-04-2023, 05:00 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Hello.

I am into photography and do a lot of editing in lightroom/photoshop. I ran out of HD space on my Macbook so started using an external HDD. I find I don't enjoy having to be plugged in to access the raw files and also ran into some other issues so I am looking at NAS as a solution. Would this be a viable solution? Would there be any drawbacks, such as speed/latency issues? What kind of setup would be sufficient to enable this to work as seamlessly as possible and what are the considerations I should take into account?

I have watched quite a few of your youtube videos and believe Synology + series would be a good way to go but I am worried I may fork out a lot of money on something that may have it's own drawbacks that I am currently unaware of. Any advice would be great!

Thanks,
James

Posted by: Enquiries - 05-04-2023, 03:00 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Hi,

first off, i have a shield, so I'm interested in direct-play only.
1) - I would like a Nas that can play 4k 10bit up to 80-100 mbps on direct stream while it being under 500 or cheapest solution. (can you suggest one please)
2) - In your 4k plex test video, you test the F4-423 and it did play the TOP GUN movie but the usage was always nearing 100%, some people say it is due to some bugs on their software so I was wondering if you happen to know if TrueNas would solve the issue, did you test the F4 423 or maybe other NAS (accustor..) with plex/jelly on trueNAS? specifically for direct play with high bitrate HDR 10 bit videos please.

Best Regards,

  NAS Advice
Posted by: Enquiries - 05-04-2023, 12:30 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Hello,

I currently have the DS412+ which needs an upgrade. I am currently waffling between the DS1823xs+ and the RS2423RP+. I may also want to wait for the RS1619xs+ update. I think that will still take some time. The DS3622xs+ is too expensive for me with hard drives. Could you help me with my decision. Maybe you have a better idea. Thanks for your help :-)

  Upgrade or Buy New
Posted by: Enquiries - 05-04-2023, 12:30 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

I have a Synology DS415+: running MailPlus server + Music + Video +Personal Data Storage for me and an off site family member. RAID 5 applies with daily backups.
I have ext USB drives but only 1 on a PC where I edit and archive TV recordings etc. Video archive draining ext USB drive and NAS does not have enough space for future. Do I upgrade NAS Drive storage size or buy new NAS for Media and future-proof increasing storage. If the latter, which NAS?
Thanks. Keith

  NAS Setup
Posted by: Enquiries - 05-04-2023, 12:00 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

Hi, I'm thinking on building/purchase a NAS system, mostly for media streaming purpose. Right now I have a raspberryPI running LibreElec with 3 external hard drives attached with 4, 5 and 6 Tb. So right now I have a capacity of +/- 15Tb and have 11Tb used.
One of external hard drive starts to fail so thats why I'm thinking to build/purchase a NAS. I'm thinking on 2 options here:
1) convert raspberryPi on a NAS with openVault and a HDD dock (like this one for example https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07H11KXCL) and run kodi on my TV with Android TV (Philips 55OLED806) with the rapsberry streaming the media to the TV
2) buy a NAS and keep raspberry running libreElec

So, with this, do you think option 1 is doable? If not, what NAS do you recomend? And HDD? How many and wich capacity? What RAID should I use?

Many Thanks in advance for you help.

Best regards,

Telmo

  Reconnecting my NAS to my Apple Mac
Posted by: Enquiries - 05-04-2023, 12:00 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (1)

I had to reset my computer to factory settings and now do not have the QNAP software on my laptop to connect with my NAS and I don't know how to reconnect it.
