Going to wireless, Adding NAS

Oct 22, 2004 1:56PM PDT

Before I setup my wireless network, I was wondering if anyone could help me with a small issue. I have about 13 computers that will be using a D-Link adapter. I have 1 D-Link w/ Extreme G Router and finally, a NAS. What would / should be the right setup to share files, PCs and internet. Should I connect the DSL Modem to the WAN on the NAS or the WAN on the Wireless Router. In either case, do I need to have a dedicated PC connection to run the setup on both the wireless router and NAS since they are both web based utilities. Any help / recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
