Wireless adapter for ReadyNAS PRO 6?
Greetings,
I have a ReadyNAS Pro 6 and I need to connect it wirelessly to my network, however it is not convenient to have it connected directly the wireless router. Does anyone know if a wireless USB adapter plugged into one of the two, rear USB ports will do the job? My router is also a Netgear, so I would think a Netgear wireless USB adapter is, theoretically, be compatible.
Cheers
Greg

No, the Pro 6 doesn't support wireless USB adapters.

Cheers, thanks for that.
Would an Ethernet to wireless adapter, like the IOGEAR Universal Ethernet to wireless adapter, work?

If that adapter is doing all the work and doesn't rely on the NAS at all, I guess so, though I've never tried an adapter like that.
