nostr:npub12gu8c6uee3p243gez6cgk76362admlqe72aq3kp2fppjsjwmm7eqj9fle6 not sure if you have prime day where you’re at, but the NAS that nostr:npub1wtuh24gpuxjyvnmjwlvxzg8k0elhasagfmmgz0x8vp4ltcy8ples54e7js recommended is 20% off today. I think I’m gonna order me one

What speeds do you have for Internet, and how many square ft of home are you trying to cover with Wi-Fi?
NAS are meant for backup so your network speeds typically aren't going to be a major issue. Most people run the backup automatically over night.
You're likely bottlenecked by the HDD read/write speeds anyways. I wouldn't upgrade the router solely for the NAS unless you're router is ancient or something. The NAS only supports up to 1 gigabit speeds anyways out of the box.
Though, it does support link aggregation (2 network cables) so you can either set it up for redundancy or a 2 gbps connection. If you want to use this feature you'd need a router that supports link aggregation though.
I think based on a nest I was in with Seth, he is wanting something a bit more secure, and flexible for possibly exposing ports on his NAS to the internet - so the idea of using VLANS etc appeals to him. Good for learning too.
I recommend this for people bridging the gap from home user to IT guy. Great user interface, all the options, and still all in one device.
