I know this will be awefully slow compared to cable connections, but which are the optional Wireless IEEE 802.11b/g approved USB Dongles?
Any recommendations? Did anybody try already?
As far as I know, not every hardware is supported. How picky is the box?
Reason why I want to implement this is access from a place where I don't have a chance to put a wire /cable.

I emailed them the other day before I got my NAS and this is their response to my question about supported USB Wireless Dongles. Of course I just spent a lot of money to get this up and running so I haven't gotten a USB wireless dongle yet. Hope that helps somewhat.

Hi, I have got everything working with the N3200 on WLAN. I have it plugged into my NetGear router and can access it wirelessly fine. I have now bought a 3com 3CRUSB10075 and plugged it into the back.
After a reboot I can go in and fiddle with the settings of the wireless dongle and change the password etc. I can see the new network on my laptop as "N3200", but I cant join it!
Now I did check the specs and it says its not mac compatible, (and I am running macs), but as I dont want to use it IN a mac I didnt think this would be an issue.
Does this mean you cant join the generated network on a mac because of the compatability issue, or is there something else wrong?
Thanks for your help in advance!
Andy
