Advice Setting Up WiFi For Guest House in c/[email protected]

I haven't done it before but I would have to imagine when you changed it to AP mode it changed the devices IP address to avoid conflict with the main router.

Try going and logging into your main router in the house and look at the attached devices. See what the new IP address is.

I'm talking out of my ass right now though

Most people here are the exact opposite of you and don't trust hardware RAID especially cheap implementations in a USB based DAS box. Software RAID is far more flexible and makes your setup independent of the hardware RAID cad dying.

Yeah I definitely get that. All the DAS I see with hardware raid look like shit. I mostly don't trust software raid being run on a separate machine. I have read stories of losing all the data even after shutdown properly and attaching the DAS after moving or something.

I am using a mac mini, it would be much easier if I was just using a full desktop computer, very easy build.

Are there any good DAS out there? (alien.top)
 

I have been searching and learning a bunch but there doesn't really seem to be any good methods that I can find.

You would think more companies would be putting out DAS considering the capabilities of USB3.2 and Thunderbolt. I have been looking for a quality DAS but almost all of them don't have built in hardware RAID. I don't really trust software RAID. Mostly rebuilding if the software crashes or my hardware crashes. Even if I was ok going with soft RAID, almost every model has a huge flaw.

It feels like getting a NAS is the only real way to go and basically just using it as an ethernet DAS for my server. It just seems like a waste of a processor. Should I just build a DAS with 4 Bay Rack? Then I have to find a place to mount a PSU and tidy up one of those PCIe to 4 Sata boards and PCIe to USB board as well as a couple fans.

Is there a good cheap enclosure to just install 4 HDD, a couple boards and a PSU? Am I missing some other easy option? It just feels like the market now is to buy a NAS and use it as a DAS.
