Wifi with Readynas Duo
i'm looking for a way to connect my ReadyNas Duo through Wifi instead of ethernet cable... My problem is that i have three ReadyNas and only 2 free slots in my router... So i really need to use wif...
Totally agree. Getting an 8 port gigabit switch is about the same money and will increase your speeds (and is very easy to install). The WNCE2001 would be a horrible way to connect your NAS.
The GS108T is a managed switch, so it includes capabilities you don't really need (and is relatively expensive). I suggest a GS608 or possibly GS108e, which are in the same price range as the wifi adapter. You should avoid the GS108 (with no letter suffix), as it does not include 802.3x flow control (which is often needed when connecting the NAS to 100 mbit equipment, like media streamers).
BTW, you might also find you need to update your ethernet cables, as to get reliable gigabit ethernet you would need cat5e or cat6. The cable type should be printed on the cable, so this is not hard to check.
