I would like to know how I would go about setting up my Synology DS115j 1 Bay Desktop NAS Enclosure as storage and leave my mac to do the transcoding, the type of router I have is a NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 Smart WiFi Router & this is connected to a NETGEAR DM200 High-Speed DSL Modem.
Would I have to connect the drive to the router via an ethernet cable and then the computer to the router, I would rather not do this, I don't mind connecting the drive to the router but also connecting the computer to the router is a bit of a pain.
Any help would be much appreciated.
