In my experience, qnap make superb nases. Pick one of theirs.

As for the router, which one is it?

QNAP is a bit too geeky for me  

I'm sure it works OK though. 

In my humblest opinion, you'd be better off with a nice Vortexbox if your goal is music rather than general file storage - the VB is probably the best music server around; you can buy it as appliance built exactly to meet your needs or you can build yourself.  

I use a Juniper router - I doubt my Broadband supplier knows or cares - not suggesting Juniper or Cisco as they are both a bit expensive for home use. I didn't pay full price for mine. The advantage of the Juniper is it has a switch rather hub - however if your existing router works OK then no real reason to change it unless you really want some extra features it doesn't have. Netgear would be my choice if you don't want to go for Juniper or Cisco. 


All the best Guy

Or in case you'd like a somewhat slicker looking Vortexbox, check out their distribution partner in Germany,
