Switching the forums off
Nearly one year ago i have moved nas-tweaks.net from mediawiki to wordpress to provide a better platform for comments and questions and to ease the navigation on the webpage. Today i switch of the forums at forum.nas-tweaks.net as they do not provide any value to the community anymore. For the future only the comments on this website will be answered and kept open.
I will keep the database for a while so if you search for a specific topic which was on this forum, feel free to leave a comment here.

Flashing the Conceptronic CH3SNAS with the Firmware of the D-Link DNS-323
A while back, Conceptronic has decided to discontinue the CH3SNAS to concentrate on the CH3MNAS and CH3HNAS.
