Nas networking ports

[Guest]

In my house I have two networks bc the range is not far enough. I am wondering since this nas has two Network ports does that mean I can connect both networks to it through the ports?

(Sorry this is the best I can do) So I am planning to put the nas next to the front router and connect the front router and the nas with a ethernet cord and then run a ethernet cord to the back router that conects the back router and the nas

So why do you have 2 routers? Just one one as access point, and have one subnet for your whole house. Then this isn't a problem at all. .

This doesnt make sense. Even if you have 2 "routers" using 1 for its network ports and/or wifi, you can still make it a single subnet network. 

The easiest way is just to turn off DHCP on one of them so you only have 1 DHCP server on the network, and change the IP on the second router to be in the same network as the first one. If you have Double-NAT issues (problems with uPnP on Xbox/PS4, or things like that) you either need to forward port through both, or you can set them up in bridge mode. 

 

 

But yes, if you reaaaaaally want to run 2 networks, on the DiskStations you can connect the ethernet ports to different networks.
