I was just gifted an iPad 2. I also have an iPhone 4S. I want to acces my network storage on my home network when I am at home.
My setup is a solid 7mb cable connection, linksys e4200 v1 router, with a WD mybook essential 600 gig hard drive hooked up to the router in the USB port.
What I want are recommendations on two types of apps; one for uploading and downloading from the network drive and also making/deleting folders, renaming stuff ect. The other is a solid media managing app for streaming videos ect from the network drive. Preferably one that can transcode non-mov files on the fly and "throw" the video to my Apple TV? Preferably in the background while multitasking?
The e4200 v1 router is pretty robust. Solid dual n band signal, it can def handle streaming high def. samba, upnp, dlna compliant. Also has FTP option.
Also something I noticed in my studies is that the v1 is coveted because it has a Broadcom chipset so it can run wrt or tomato firmware. Any cool tricks I can pull with aftermarket firmware?
