Hi! I just bought a new macbook pro. We have a home wireless network using a netgear wndr3400 wireless router with a WD hard drive plugged into the router via USB2. The HD is in NTFS format with a lot of photos stored on it. We have other windows PCs on the network so I need the ability to read and write to the hard drive wirelessly from either a PC or a mac. So two questions:

1) I can see/access the hard drive on the network from my windows machines, but cannot see it from the mac. How do I gain wireless access to the HD from the mac?

2) From everything I have read, Paragon for Mac is the best way to gain mac read/write access to the NTFS drive...correct? Or are there other ways to go?
