Thanks everyone for their thoughtful posts. I have just upgraded my wireless router to the new ASUS 3100 dual band, with 8 GB switch ports in back, and access for direct NAS connectivity. This is a great router, with awesome wireless coverage. Exploring possibility of Aurender server, and will then to migrate from my WD portable drives to a NAS...hopefully will finalize all details by March...leaning to Synology NAS, or the QNAP, and will have plugged in UPS.
More once I take the plunge!
Best,
Bob
