I'm ok for the not supported, but exfat only require two additional deb packages included in repositories (unless that changed since I tried), not sure it counts as very big hack. I think it's exfat-fuse and exfat-utils, look in user submitted tips, OS6 tips and tricks. That said, it's still not supported and you should try this with no important data on the NAS. stability won't be guaranteed either (although I don't think this will be a problem). So if you can avoid, avoid, but if you really need it, it is possible. For wifi, you have 4 options : 1°) try as is and see what you get. 2°) get a very long cable. 3°) get a newer router with better antennas (for example a wifi AC with beam forming router) or a wifi repeater. 4°) use CPL adapters. Direct connection can be done via cable only since the NAS doesn't have wifi enabled (and you may not want to add a wifi card with a driver not included in the kernel, that would be a very big hack). DLNA should be able to stream your content but RN104 can't transcode them, your content format should be one that the TV can read.

Thank you so much for your imput. I don't THINK I can get a new router as it's cable, but maybe. Plus it's netgear. Long cables are out.
I've no idea what a cpl adaptor is, but I'll look into it.
It works ok so far, but I haven't tried a really hi-res video yet. we shall see.
Thank you again for your advice, it's much appreciated.
