Q: airport extreme remote access
I am looking for some help here. I am changing my home network around and looking for some help.
I currently have an Apple Airport Extreme 5th Gen router wired to my Cox cable internet in my upstairs den. I have a few devices wired to the router with ethernet. I also have a 6cat from the Extreme that runs to my landing upstairs to a Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 router to provide better wifi downstairs. Here I have 2 NAS drives plugged into the Netgear with ethernet.
I am planning on now running cat6 cable from the Netgear downstairs into a closet. In the closet looking to add a 16 port switch or something. I am planning on moving my NAS drives in to the closet also. I would hook them and few other devices downstairs to the 16 port switch. Not sure what switch to buy yet also.
However I would like to now be able to access my network from away from home. I am guessing need to setup the Airport Extreme for this since it's first in the loop. I am looking for a guide/help how to do this.
I have a few web based apps running on these NAS drives that I would like to access from work or on the road etc.
Any ideas/help?
