Does it support DLNA?

They claim it does. Regardless, you do not want this NAS. The firmware is riddled with bugs and the support is terrible. Heads should be rolling at Seagate for this disgrace. Spend the extra money and get a Synology NAS. They are 100x better.

Depends more on the brand. I have a 3 TB Western digital my book essential. It seems to support it as it recognizes it over the network. Currently streaming via DLNA is problematic though but that is more of an issue with the firmware than the hard drive. I believe if you google the netgear webpage there is a listing of supported drives.

C. Ady is 100% correct. If you don't have anything else than the DLNA functions are serviceable. From a complete product. I purchased a 850 Samsung in part for the DLNA feature. Your better off getting a Slingbox.

Short answer, yes.That's actually what it's made for and works great. You may also love the DLNA option as well if you have digital media you wish to share over your network.Movies and music can stream strait to your smart TV or any DLNA compatible media player from the NAS.If you have an Android device and plan on storing digital movies on this for network streaming, check out "media house pro"Great combo

Yes it does. We are using it on full duplex networks. This is a great device and has plug and played on all of our laptops.

Yes this is possible. I have connected my hard drive to wd router and is able to play the movies from my sony blu ray player and logitech revue. This is not certified dlna but it supports upnp which is the actual protocal behind DLNA. Please also remember that the files will play only if your tv/player supports the codecs

I bought Samsung 52'' LCD with DLNA support and already have a NAS drive (DLink - D232) that supports UPnP. All my media is in the NAS device. I haven't received the TV yet or else would have tried myself, but does anyone know if DLNA supported devices (my TV in this case) can access media from UPnP supported servers (my NAS in this case)?

Yes it is supported. Here is the link to the page that show this, http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/routers/1800-series-integrated-services-routers-isr/relevant-interfaces-and-modules.html Thanks Dave

This is exactly what I am wondering, too, whether it be the Samsung or the Pioneer plasmas with DLNA. I hope someone here can report whether these sets can access media on uPnp NAS drives. That's where this interconnectivity really needs to go.

No. It uses Broadcom drivers so those drivers can be downloaded from the web and installed.

I do not have a g connection so I cannot say from experience it does. I looked at documents that come with the installation CD and throughout the file it references 802.1*. So I would assume it would support that. Usually I see different products supporting back levels of the software.

I have a LN46A750 and even though it says it DLNA compliant, it doesn't seem to work with all servers directly. I can confirm that it does work with the Samsung software and using TVersity, it does see the server and its contents, but it doesn't stream video. I haven't tried music or photos, but videos don't work. It's because of some strange HTTP header requirements that the TV is looking for and the TVersity doesn't send. I don't know if this extra header is part of the "DLNA standard" though.

I used to use DLNA, but now I ONLY use the network connectivity.If I had an external HD directly connected, it might be more helpful since I think the WDTV has some indexing features when using DLNA, but all my files are now on my NAS.

It depends on your receiver and what protocols it supports. This device only supplies WiFi Networking to the receiver, it doesn't add functionality to the receiver. If your receiver supports AirPlay or DLNA, then yes. DLNA is not supported natively in iOS, there are servers you can run on your iPhone. If your receiver supports AirPlay, then it should be easy. Although, you may need to re-configure your router in either case to allow connections over those protocols.

Never used that option as I have an HTPC and PS3 and all my other PCs and DLNA devices such as tablets that I use for this

No this doesn't have DLNA functionality. It does support netflix, amazon video, crackle and hulu plus. The S280 on the other hand does do DLNA

I wasn't able to connect it to NAS; it was confirmed by Panasonic that the unit sold in North America does not have the DLNA support needed to connect to NAS. The same model sold in Europe is ok, I guess this is one of the reasons the price is less expensive in North America.
