The Airport Extreme is $200, pretty expensive for a router, but adding the hard drive to it isn’t much more than the WD hard drive cost. I think I’m going to buy a Time Capsule, which is the Airport Extreme with a built-in 2TB hard drive. I’ve been referring to it as the AE flat version, which is the Airport Express as opposed to the Airport Extreme, which is the tower (if 6 inches is considered towering, that is). Although the router isn’t too old, using 802.11ac (but can accept devices using N, B, and other earlier versions), it seems that it may be incompatible with the WD hard drive. Like I said, let an Apple fan help you out. But, I doubt it, and it appears you would have difficulty even finding out that it does since you differentiate routers by using words like towers and flat ones. It could be that Apple routers have some special bells and whistles for adding features for Mac devices. Last year I replaced my daughter’s old Apple 1st gen N router with a newer one. And, if it turns out you need one, you do not have to buy an overpriced one with an Apple logo on it. So don’t go spending money on a new router just yet. It holds media files I can stream from router to devices at home or away. I have a HD connected to my router, but not for back up. If you have a functional home network, then perhaps that is why. Why (and how) are you connecting HD to router, anyway? All you need to do is connect the HD to a computer – no router involved. Maybe you just have an older and slower router that may not even be an N-type router. large HDs can affect computer and devices they are connected to sometime, but then I suppose your Mac would tell you so. Routers usually do not affect hard drive performance. this post jumps to the front of the queue each time there is a reply to it.
