Hey there, my successful ReadyNAS hardware setup is as follows:
Charter Cable Internet -> Netgear WNR854T Router
Attached to the router:
1. ReadyNAS Duo (500GB)
2. Desktop PC
3. Panasonic network camera
I also have a laptop and a second desktop PC that connects over WiFi.
I use Acronis to handle backing up all the machines to the ReadyNAS.
I upgraded my cables from cat5 to cat6 to be sure that I am getting the most out of my network.
I just added a Panasonic network cam to the mix. I have it set up to FTP its files to the ReadyNAS. That is working pretty good so far.
The one thing that I would do differently now is go with bigger drives. Between the three machines 68% of the capacity has been used up. I imagine outgrowing these drives pretty quickly.
Advice to newbies:
1. Consult these forums regularly. Every issue that I have had with my ReadyNAS (I've only had it for about a month) I have found a solution for here.
