Hi all,

 

I am thinking about getting a NAS for storage. Now the thing is.. I have a HTPC connected only via Wifi and I cannot make an ethernet connection. 

So my question is, can I connect a NAS to my router via ethernet and then access the NAS via Wifi on my HTPC?

My main pc is connected via an ethernet cable so accessing the NAS from my main pc should not be a problem, but I also want to access it from my HTPC.

 

Cheers.

Yes, you'll be able to as long as they're on the same subnet.

Quick note, your stream quality will be capped by your WiFi routers bandwidth. (This shouldn’t be a problem though just thought I’d mention it.)

This is my opinion, it doesn't mean I'm right and is liable to change at any time. I may offend of which I apologize in advance.

Yeah, I figured that. Thanks
