QNAP NAS - How to Connect Over the Internet

What Is A QNAP NAS?

QNAP's Network Attached Storage(NAS) are systems that consist of one or more hard drives that are constantly connected to the internet. The QNAP becomes your backup "hub", or storage unit that stores all your important files and media such as photos, videos and music. Imagine it being your external hard drive, but rather taking it everywhere, it is placed at home and accessible for you and your family to use at anytime and anywhere.

When you connect a NAS to your home router, if you only have 4 ports but need another port, should it be a switch or a hub you extend the hub with to accommodate the nas? Whats the difference if its a choice?

Good evening, I have 2 Qnap NAS's and I am planning on moving the second one (the backup of the first one) to a separate physical location. I currently access the NAS through its IP address to access the setting and such with the NAS. Is this still possible when I move it to another location? and would I have to use something like OpenVPN to do so? thanks for your input.

so for the first time, I used this to watch some content stored on my NAS from my mum's house (in another town) and I was amazed to be honest. I just used Qfile and didn't transcode as I dont know what it means! Never the less, it worked great.
NOW, it had me thinking...Can I set up a user profile for my mum for her to access videos on my NAS, only from her house. Also would she be able to get it on her TV (maybe cast from the mediaplayer qfile uses to the TV - I dont know if it has that option.). I could probably get her access on her tablet but she will want it on the TV! Any uidea's guys?? thanks

Any thoughts on how to accelerate the upload/download speed for this particular service? Is it possible that the QNAP servers are a limiting factor. Getting 1mb/s download on a 300/300 connection. The NAS is on a 50/50 
connection.

is this possible to just accessing the nas threw wireless at home if the nas is connected threw ethernet to my routeur ?

[pok]

Do I need to have a static IP for this to work? Good and informative videos by the way, thanks!!!

[AetheismRules]

Thanks for all the time and trouble to prepare these videos. Why is reality never like the tutorial ? I try it, my NAS says that it is connected to the QNAP Cloud .... but when I try from an external device I get "Connect to <NAS Server> " " ... Preparing ... " .... and then ... "Connection Failed" !!
