[QUOTE="cloudyplusplus, post: 1804402, member: 154310"] I don't care that about the integration of router with the drive. What I do care about is that it simply works, is network attached, will find my laptops when they come on-line within the LAN. Finally, if I upgrade my systems, the drive will continue to work. Also, I have two locations, each with TC currently and they play well together. Prior to the TC solution, I had a RAID-2 NAS solution. When it worked, it worked well. However, any time I upgraded our systems, it wouldn't work until the vendor updated their firmware (if at all). I'm assuming that wireless drives are basically a Network Attached Storage (NAS) solution, which means that there is a software layer that emulates the various network FS protocols encountered. Any change to the protocol or the software that manages AFS for TM, NAS will not work without a firmware upgrade. Now if what you are finding is that these 3rd party wireless drives work, then that's a good thing. Thanks all for your help. [/QUOTE]
