Nas means Network attached storage you have to connect it with the ethernet cable to your modem or switch etc.

 

2)how can i interact with the nas?

 

You can map the network drive in my computer to access it. Some NAS have a web based GUI so you can access it through your browser.

 

thnx for helpers! :)

Depending on your phone/tablet, there are apps like ES File Explorer for Android that allow you to connect to networks and sort through files, play videos, etc.

For connecting your phone/tablet to the nas as long as you have a nas that is dlna certified. I suggest the netgear Ready Nas Duo V2 and with that just dump files into the dlna share on it and then download the app called skifta and it should find the dlna streamer from the nas as long as it is on the same network. I use this on My Nexus 7 and it allows for me to be able to stream music and stuff like that over my network.

If your using Android BubbleUPnP is the app to use just make sure the NAS supports DLNA and UPNP and for video playback use MXPlayer.
