Connect ReadyNAS Pro 6 to WLAN
For several years I have happily and successfully used a NAS, most recently a Netgear ReadyNAS Pro 6 with RAIDiator 4.2.26, mainly to store the library for iTunes and a Sonos music system (a Mac with OS X 10.11.4 is my central computer). The NAS was connected by Ethernet cable to a Netgear MBR624GU 3G Wireless Router as were all the Sonos devices which were all assigned on the same IP subnet. Now, moving on to LTE, my ISP has supplied a new router, a Huawei E5577Cs-321 Mobile WLAN Router for which I have defined the WLAN on a different IP subnet from the Ethernet (I couldn't get it working reliably on the same subnet). This does not have any Ethernet socket. I still have the NAS connected to my Ethernet network and can access it from iTunes. However, I haven't been able to access it from the Sonos system which creates a diferent subnet (169.254.0.0) using Sonos' AutoIP method. Today I enabled DHCP on the ReadyNAS (using the same subnet as the NAS), hoping that Sonos will define IP addresses as assigned by the DHCP and thus see the NAS (I haven't got that working yet). Even then to reach the Internet I will still need to have access to the subnet that the router is on, e.g. to update Sonos software (that is my only Internet access; I have no landline). My question is: can I somehow use the NAS (or my Mac) to provide a bridge to the router's IP subnet? I'll be very gateful for any help!3.5KViews0likes12Comments
