I have a DL2100 I use as a media server as you want to do I even use it with Plex. I do not have time to give you tutorials, etc, but WD does. There is a lot to setting a NAS up and WD has support to tell you how to do all this. Here is the link to that site, so be sure to download the complete user manual and view the tutorials more than once. Bookmark the link! https://support.wdc.com/product.aspx?ID=2703&lang=en
