Afternoon fellow forumites,

As the topic states, i want to connect a NAS to a WAP.

I'm just wondering how easy it is to do.
Im looking at ones like :

http://www.pcmall.co.za/moreinfo.asp?sku=WRT54GL : Linksys Wireless-G Boradband Router. Works at 54mbps and includes 4 ethernet ports.

http://www.mecerpc.co.za/mecer-product-specification.php?product=Mecer_Mjc2ODI= : NAS Enclosure will get HDD.

Will it be as simple as in plug it into the Wireless router and let DHCP take over and it will act as storage on the network?

Any help/tips would be appreciated.

thanks
 
*Plug NAS into network,connect to its management interface using the manual as reference ( wrt IP range to manage it and its own IP address )
*Set NAS to get a DHCP address or a fixed address in the range of your current network and configure the netbios name if you intend on using it
*Reboot NAS
*Return PC to original network setting
*Browse to NAS netbios/IP address and go...
