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. ...
OK. He could set up an ethernet router which connects to the NAS, the PC, and the SMART TV. The PC wireless could be redirected to the hotspot when he wants internet, it can be directed to the router when he doesn't. That will work (and plex might well work in the scenario also, though I haven't tried it).
The extender idea is similar, esp. if he uses static addresses for the equipment connected to the extender. But it has the benefit that all the devices can reach the internet - allowing the time on the NAS to be properly set, allow easier firmware updates for the SMART TV (and the NAS), perhaps allowing other internet features on the TV to be used.
