Question re UGREEN NASync DH4300 Plus
Hi all, I am totally new to NAS and have a quick question please. Sorry if this may seem to be a silly one! I'm not tech-savvy.
My son has bought a UGREEN NASync DH4300 Plus, & wants to hook it up to our home's router. I am a bit concerned as he has had his desktop PC hacked a few times and had issues with his details stolen, as he is always browsing internet and somehow manages to visit wrong websites (my guess). Anyways, I've never heard of NAS till now and my concern is that, considering it hooks up straight to the router, does it compromise or risk the whole home internet? I am concerned that if he gets hacked or downloads malware by accident, would it also possibly risk compromising everyone on that network? Is it a greater risk than if NAS wasn't attached to the router? I guess the question really is whether it compromises the whole family's data vs just his?
Any advise would be highly appreciated! Thank you!
P.S.- As I'm not tech-savvy, please explain to me like you're explaining a child lol.. Thanks in advance!
