Hi guys!

I need some advise on the best way to go about this, I currently want to set up a NAS so I can backup all my media ect, also be able to stream to my tv either by Ethernet or so on. Also I would like to be able to access it from my phone while out and about. is this possible?

Sorry if this isn't to clear.

So what would be the best way about this?

I use an Asustor AS-302t. Priced very well for the spec and have all the apps you'd need. Easy to setup and really quiet (using the right type of HDD of course). Has an HDMI port on the back and XBMC, so no need for streaming. I use it as a VPN server, file server, NZB+Torrent downloader and iTunes Server.

Synology, QNAP (quite expensive), Netgear are all good too. Depends on how many bays you want for the HDDs.

Thanks bud!

what is the price of the one you are currently using?

Also what router ect? i'm currently on Sky Fiber pro they sent me the VDSL black router which I find pants! haha

I have the netgear powerline 500 Adapters, 500mb they say but not sure if they can go higher, would this make any difference ?

@Nymins

My Sync speed is 53mb. However sky seem to think I could get faster so are currently working on the line, It's a brand new fiber line just put in so they not sure why it's so slow considering i'm less then 200m from the DSLAM .download speed i'm getting around 5-6mb, Upload is syned at 20mb

Brand new house only moved into it in nov 2013, so wiring is perfect.

I mainly want it to get movies to my TV upstairs and downstairs, And back media onto it and able to access the media on my table/phone if need be.
