NAS or just external hard drive?
1 minute ago, Walt said:How do I use this if I have a NAS? Or do I just need to put the NAS into a gigabit port and all the computers that I want to use the NAS with?
Ah! Yah, you just plug the ethernet port on the back to the box itself and anything wired or wireless on the local network will be able to access it via the IP address you assign or it picks up. I would recommend setting it statically, that will vary depending on what NAS you get, but usually the instructions for setup will walk you though that for the box
Edit:
If you don't have any free ports you can get a 5-port or 8-port gigabit switch for like $20 and just plug one cable from the router to the switch and then everything additional you need to connect goes into the switch and it's done, you've got more ports
