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 ...
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.

It looks like it functions like a wireless bridge, if so it would work. However, that particular product looks quite slow (150 mpbs link speed). Something like this would run a lot faster: http://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/wifi-range-extenders/EX7300.aspx#tab-idealuses Though of course this also depends on the speed of your main WiFi router. Which router model are you using?
Powerline might also work for you, but you'd need two units.
