Has anyone been able to get the link aggregation with the synology NAS to (2 port or 4 port) to work with Cisco 300's?

Hi Brian, I have a Synology DS1511+ connected with two bonded-gig-ethernet ports to an SG300-10. It works fine. Best of luck, tom

Works well with Synology NAS. They have downloadable app for Squeezecenter, I have DS 209 and works good, although my duet is mainly used for Pandora and Rhapsody i will admit, not so much mp3's on NAS, but it does work. And your PC or laptop doesn't need to be on.

plug it into the network as you describe. have each machine install the synology assistant setup software (link came in manual) which adds access to the NAS for each individual computers. There are more direct ways to add the network to each machine without the assistant software, but you need to know how to map a network drive. You can then have them drag their files to the NAS as if they were copying files on their machine.

I don't think so. Unless you could figure out a way to network a USB device but at that point you're better off buying a product meant to be a NAS. FYI, my unit failed after 1 month. Don't buy this product.

There are tunnel protocols that may not function. These are able to pick up and configure to "extend" an existing link. I have a single unit working as an access point off a DLINK wrt and hadn't seen any problems.

I do exactly this with a Synology NAS. There are a few caveats with the library but I can watch or listen to my library on 2 Apple TVs and audio with some Airport Expresses. Should work the same with this.

This article will you some info regarding DMA and UPNP and DNLA on the Synology servers.http://www.synology.com/support/faq_show.php?lang=us

To follow up, not sure I made the point clear the unit itself is port-multiplier capable with other NAS units. Harry Riley

I would email Synology sales but the website os probably right. Notice that there is an "RP" model that is deeper.

They are compatible with Synology. I believe you might need to be running v5 of their os for full compatibility. I am using them with my DS214+

I am not sure of the model of drives you have but you can check it here at the link below.I have used incompatible drives before with no issue. Keep in mind compatibility just means they have tested and are sure that it functions the way it should with your NAS. http://www.synology.com/en-global/support/hd/model/DS413j

Hello DavidYes, in my domestic network scenario I use a Mac and my wife use a Windows laptop and network drive map works without problems. The NAS is connected on my Apple Time Capsule 1TB old version and the GUI interface of this NAS is easy to use and the access is via http. About the FTP, I can't comment because I've never used.

I have a DS409 that is about 5 years old now. I built a FreeNAS box 2 years ago and have had a lot of issues (12x3TB drives with 2 as hot spares and 10 in raid z2)... The FreeNAS version I used didn't pick up the hot spares as two of my drives failed and the SAS/SATA card I used has been buggy... not that Synology boxes never fail... I'm thinking of getting one of the 12-drive ones to replace my freenas box. I upped my DS409 to 4x4TB drives to backup my freenas until I resolve the issues. Having done both, Synology is a better option imho.

I'm not sure but with my experience this system probably won't. After a number of IT guys using it over the past year to see if they can get any benefit out of this, it was finally consigned to electronics graveyard in my house. I've purchased the Synology system and it has worked from day 1. My advice is to avoid this unit completely and purchase anything else. My brother in law also purchased this unit at the same time I did but gave up on it after a few months of trying to get it work

So far I only see compatibility with Windows and Apple operating systems, that's with the Buffalo NAS Navigator software. You might need to contact Buffalo tech support. I am sure there is a way to make it work, because at the end of the day its a storage drive. ;)

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.

You can in a sense, basically have multiple NAS systems chained through a router
