One ReadyNas on two different networks?
Hi!
I have a ReadyNas Ultra 2 at home.
I also have two different routers:
The first one is an Apple AirPort TimeCapsule that connects to all my main units throu several switches and wireless.
The second router is a Linksys WRT 1900 ACS running my VPN (wich i only want for certain devices connected throu switches and wireless).
At the moment my ReadyNas is connected to the Linksys (and the VPN) for use with torrents etc. so when i want to reach the files on my ReadyNas or use Transmission i connect wireless to the Linksys.
Filetransfering wirelessly from the Linksys is way slower then the AirPort (i guess it depends on the VPN?) so my question is this.
Can i connect the AirPort to the Second LAN-port on my ReadyNas and then reach my files throu either the Linksys or the AirPort?
Best regards / J-P

One reason this is hard is that you want to limit transmission to use the VPN internet connection, even though the AirPort also reaches the internet. You'd probably need to prevent the NAS from ever using the AirPort for any internet access.
Are the two routers using different subnets? (for instance 192.168.0.x for one, and 192.168.1.x for the other)?
Also, what firmware is running on your ultra?
