Hi,
I have an older Ultra 6 using OS6.
I would like to setup so that I can pass through my internet through the NAS to my PC.
So my setup would be ROUTER -> eth0 in NAS, eth1 in nas -> PC
Is this posssible, so my PC can access the network as if it was connected to the router? and if yes pointers to how to set it up?
note this is a temporary solution until I can do some home modelling and get an extra network cable installed, I know it's not a preffered mode of operation.
Solved! Go to Solution.

I don't think you'll be able to get this to work. I suggest getting an inexpensive gigabit switch instead, and connect both the NAS and the PC to the switch. You should be able to find something suitable for ~ $25 USD.

Generic Linux or here Debian would be easy -> https://wiki.debian.org/BridgeNetworkConnections Trouble might be that Netgear is using some network config tools for embedded systems ....
Even easier would it be on QNAP QTS with it's Virtual Switch 8-)

Re: Pass internet through readynas
So I tried to set up a bridge using bridge utils. The moment I added the interface using addif the NAS stopped responding to my SSH and the admin interface stopped responding as well. After a reboot the bridge was deleted .... So yeah, I stopped toying with it and found a gigabit switch instead. That will have to do until I get cables installed properly in the walls 🙂
Cheers for the help.
