I'm planning to getting myself a DS1513+ Synology with probably 5x 3GB WD red or black. Mainly for purpose of storage and streaming of movies to my TV via my current TVIX Media Player.

It will also be hosting my pictures and music library as well. My questions are ..

1. Can I access the photos in the NAS from my iOS smartphone and is that hard to setup from the get go?
2. I'm currently on Maxis Home Fiber 10mb. Can I run torrent downloads on the NAS wireless? Any preferred wireless dongle? I have wired Cat6 to my living room which I will use that to stream my movies to the TV.
3. I will be having 1x POE 720p CCTV connected. Shall that be connected directly to one of the 4 Gigabit ports on the NAS or to the switch.
4. Considering my purpose of NAS, what RAID is suggested for my setup?

Why 1513? Love the expandability option in the future ...

My problem lies with the fact that my modem/router is in a different location where I did not pull any cables to it (at the back of my living room sofa across a pathway). When I did my renovation, I only pulled a normal telephone cable to the TV area, thinking that I could just relocate the modem/router, considering Maxis used back my original cable without pulling any fiber optics to the existing RJ11 port. But when I moved them, I get no internet. I live in a condo. Even connecting to the an existing RJ11 port in the master room does not give me any internet connection. Only the existing one which is connected to. So, am wondering what am I doing wrong or what is it that I did not think of.

Hence I am doomed to wireless unless I hack up my walls again. Still looking to call Maxis tomorrow to see what options are available.

Thanks for the advise
