I want to connect the NA7004 to my NAS via wifi; do I need to buy a router for it, or will a USB wifi adapter work?

You will need a bridge and wired connect to that bridge. It doesn't support usb dongle like windows/ios

You can add the Samsung linkstick USB adapter for wifi, but I've seen it for $50 to $80.Today with the latest firmware 1032 I tried my cheap $15 tenda W522U USB wifi adapter I have for my rasbery pi and it worked. The tenda W522U adapter is a 2.4/5Ghz adapter but only runs on the 2.4Ghz with this blu ray player, I guess they don't have the 5Ghz drivers in the firmware. But it does connect on wireless A/B/G and N so it steams my ripped DVDs from my NAS good.

If you plug in any drive or add to nas it would work. Make sure all drives are same speed but I wouldn't. It's not a good idea. Use internal drives for nas

Update: This thread got me wired just now...Wireless is in the works. [ndiswrapper isn't so friendly to this one for some reason - perhaps I nabbed the wrong wireless driver..]http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7409939

You shouldn't have any issues. NAS firmware will work independently from the OS. You will control the drives from the NAS UI.

I used a Synology ds 1513. But i think qnap and most others will support this camera. Just check the campatibity in the nas documentation.

Yes, it definitely will connect via USB 3. I am not sure what Mr. Hurd is referring too. There is no "requirement" for it to be connected to the Internet. Mine.is connected via CAT 5 to my internal network and is not accessible outside of that network. My personal opinion is, this is one of the best NAS solutions you could get.

This device is extender for the original Router.This is not the router.So you can not connect USB.

You need a wifi "stick" which goes into the USB port on the side and is (was?) sold separately. I did not buy the official Samsung LinkStick WiFi adapter, but got a Rosewill RNX-N1 which was cheaper (but no longer sold). I see Samsung sells the WIS12ABGNX Network adapter for far less now ($35) on Amazon. I would try that. Do note: if at all possible, a wired connection is preferred, much better for streaming movies from places like VuDu.

The PC does not include a wireless adapter for connection to a wireless router, but it does include a wired connection. So if your router is nearby, you can easily connect it using a standard network cable (which is not included). I simply bought a cheap USB wireless adapter to connect it to our network. It works fine. I'd buy this PC again if I needed one. It is ideal for my son, who lives in the basement.

This Model is for one computer thru the USB Port, You could share from one computer to by the NAS (Network Access Storage) Model to setup on a network rather than USB.

No this is not a NAS. This is simply a USB NIC which requires a PC to operate.

I have been transferring upto 15 Gb on the NAS. Frankly, the speed is slow compared to the USB interface. However, considering that it is connecting over the Wi-fi network to the NAS connection might make the transfer longer. However, so far I am not thrilled with the speed of the device. However, since I have the unit only for a few days, more testing is required.

It depends on the router. Does the USB port support external hard drives and serve them on the network? It should work, but Thunderbolt is what makes this worth buying, not USB.

I've set mine up for sharing with Win 7 64-bit and Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit, works fine sharing over the gig ethernet. For USB external drives, there are only 4 USB-2 ports. For wireless access to the N40L, you need a wireless router {ASUS, Almond etc.) and a USB wireless adapter (ASUS etc.). Win 7 works w/wireless, I did not try that with Linux. I hacked mine to support 6 internal SATA drives, 3 are 4TB (BIOS flash plus lots of cable kludge) - again, works fine. The BIOS flash is not recommended unless you can safely navigate dodgy eastern Europe hacker sites and know how to build the boot thumb drive.

Hmmm...I have the Air so I have (and did install) the R3 update to that. I don't know that I want to chance bricking the R1, so I'm back to trying a bridge. There's no USB port for the WLAN access point, so I don't know of any other way to bring the signal to the box.Thanks very much for your response.
