Help with Network and NAS

[feijay]

Can anyone help me with setting up my network at home?

my networking hardware is:

EE Brightbox ADSL modem/router
24 port switch
2x TP Link C20i Access Point
2x Dlink NAS Drives

My problem is the access of the NAS Drives.

I can access the NAS drives via LAN but I cannot access the NAS via the TP Link access points or the LAN from the back.

I can only access the NAS via the EE Brightbox modem (wifi and LAN).

EE Brightbox goes into the 24 Port switch.
2 NAS drives are plugged into switch
2 TP link access points are plugged into switch.

Currently I have 3 different SSID, is there anyway to make them all the same, so the phone/tablet/laptop just connects to the strongest signal?

Disable DHCP service on your access points, and assign them static addresses. Make sure your whole network has only one DHCP server, and any devices with static IP addresses (eg your NASes) are in the same pool.

Thanks very much! I can now access all the NAS via all the network either wired or wifi!

Any idea if I can change all the SSID to the same name?

Unless you have highly sophisticated access points, you cant. Even if you make them with same name, you won't get "automatic transfer: when you move from one AP to another.

Ok, thanks for your help.
