 JG> It's not a direct attach enclosure, it's NAS (network-attached storage).

Yes.

 JG> Since it's not under the control of any computer (the computer and OS is

Oh.

 JG> Reading the manuals for the SC101 device (don't know if that's what you

A SC101T and now I have to buy new wireless accesspoints as well, the 54
Mbit/s is too slow....it's a big difference to when I connect via a cable to
the
switch and then the next question pops up.
When both the cable and the wireless are in use, does the computer use both
so the speed is 54 + 100 or does it only use one and give priority to the

Ok and it sure does, putting in the bread in the front behind the front panel.

 JG> So, don't worry about it - there's nothing you can do...

The Netgear support obviously didn't have a clue what they were talking about.
