I'm trying to build a NAS from my dad's old desktop. The motherboard is an Asrock FSB1GHZ. I need wireless and wired connectivity. My question is, will the on board Ethernet port get me gigabit speeds (as long as everything else is in place) so I'd just need a wireless card?
Also, what speed wireless card would I need to stream SD video content to an ipad?
The model number will be printed on the Motherboard, look that up online and it should let you know it's specifications.
The FSB 1GHz relates to bus speed for the CPU. That is an indicator the Motherboard is fairly old and may be restricted to 10/100 LAN.
You would not put a wireless card in the NAS. You would put in a gig card and connect wired to the wireless router. Folks would connect to the router then the NAS. Otherwise you have to set the NAS wifi as ad-hoc wireless or as a access point. No real benefit in that.
