Osx as a router ?

I have moved house and currently have no router near my ReadyNAS duov1. I have good wifi signal(after using Ethernet over power line and a spare router) to a Mac mini OSX10.7 which is next to my duo. Is it possible to have my mac act as router and share the duos data across the network? I guess the Mac mini could creates it own wifi network (albeit with limited wifi strength) on a different SSID? Second question - if that isn't a workable solution - can I get another router to join the existing network and connect it to the duo and Mac mini? Is this bridge mode? Thanks for any advice

Since you have ethernet to the Mac Mini, the best answer is to get a gigabit switch, not a router. Then just connect the Mac and the Duo to the switch (and the switch to the router). Inexpensive 5-port switches can be found for about $25 US.

Check out the datasheet though, and make sure you get one with 802.3x (flow control).
