Connect ReadyNAS directly to pc without internet?
Can Seagate NAS HHD 4TB hard drives that were in a ReadyNAS 316 be used in a ReadyNAS 104 4-bay Diskless or a ReadyNAS 314 4-bay Diskless? Does it matter what order they were in? They were mixed up. ...
Hello StephenB. Thank you for helping me through this situation. Since I live in the country where there is no internet service whatsoever I had to get the AT&T Wi-Fi card to communicate with the outside world. In the past I did have Ethernet because I lived in New York City.
Now I would only use the PLEX app in the NAS to connect my laptop to the TV. I wouldn't use it for anything else. As vandermerwe indicated I would have to change the IP address of the NAS so that it is still reachable from the PC by using a static IP address on the NAS.
You said the NAS can't connect to the AT&T Unite card but what if I give the NAS a static IP address and directly connect it to my PC via Ethernet cable can I access the PLEX Media Server in the NAS with Plex Home Theater in my PC?
Can I still access my NAS 316 administration page and my PLEX Web Interface which is a media manager for the PLEX using the Unite Hotspot Wi-Fi card? They are after all just web pages. Or are they?
Can I directly connect the NAS316 to a smart TV which can recognize it directly?
Thanks again for helping me out. As you suggested I will be purchasing the Netgear AC 1200.
