Ok, so I'm about to run out of storage space on my MBP. I'm a photographer, and most of my 250 GB drive is consumed by pictures and music. But there is a looming 100 GB of movies that I have on here as well. The reason I have them on here is so that I can use Connect360 to stream them to the xbox and watch them on my tv.
Long story short, I want to add a big HD to my network that my 360 can access as well as other computers on my network. The only problem is that the room that the cable modem is pretty far away from the xbox. My best possible solution (that i could think of) was to have 2 routers; one to distribute internet access, and the other to place close to my 360 that will have the NAS on it. I think i would need a NAS with an ethernet port to go into the router and from the router to the xbox (so that the 360 could see the NAS) and that router could connect to the other router so that the 360 could still use the internet connection.
Is this the right idea?
