The editors didn't like
No watchdog / automated reboot (i.e. must be manually reset if it ever freezes)
Lack of USB 3.0
Single drive design has limitations
Very slow USB write performance
Limited feature set
Poorly designed utilities
Slow USB performance
Slow 5GHz throughput at close range
Sloppy fit with the optional stand
Middling wireless performance
Only one USB port
Weak smallbusiness feature se
Not as fast as competing routers
Connecting took a bit longer than usual
Signal strength is average
Can't mount the router vertically
USB ports sit too close to power on/off button. Throughput not as robust at 5 GHz as in other competing high-end routers on the market
Large design
Can't expand storage
The My Net N900 Central's internal hard drive can't be replaced
And the router doesn't support the new 802.11ac standard
Performance could be better
Control panel is easy to use
But a little clunky and its color scheme hurts eyes in some lighting conditions
Expensive for what it is
Other than having a 2 TB hard drive inside
Stability issues when transferring files
Pricey
Same as Apple's AirPort Extreme Base Station. Poor build quality -- its housing is made of some pretty cheap plastic. This might help to keep the router’s guts cool
After testing the MyNET N900 it is safe to say Western Digital has done an excellent job with their entry into the market.We know that the USB poered media storage on the N900 was great,in fact of of the best we have seen on a router, but it is a bit ...

The N900 is a strong wireless performer, but it's hard to recommend at its current price point because it has such a limited feature set. The Asus RT-N66U is much more powerful, has many more features, and it costs less....

The WD MyNet N900 Central is unit worth considering, especially for users who do not already have a network storage solution in their house or small office. 2 TB is a considerable backup space for most users, and the unit’s ability to serve up to DLNA-...

The Western Digital My Net N900 Central provides a nice alternative to an external drive for backing up your data by combining a great performing router with the option of either 1TB to 2TB. ...

Large design, Can't expand storage
The Western Digital My Net N900 Central combines a router and a network-attached storage drive into one sleek package.
Low profile makes it great for cramped space. Tons of connectivity options. Prioritizes content to make what ever you’re doing online feel speedy. Insanely simple to set up and use.
Pricey, same as Apple's AirPort Extreme Base Station. Poor build quality -- its housing is made of some pretty cheap plastic. This might help to keep the router’s guts cool, but we bet it won’t stand up to any abuse.

Abstract: WD now makes routers. For those who are not familiar with Western Digital's past when they used to make calculators, certain type of processing units and graphic cards, they would probably find it surprising that WD's first bold move as a storage drive ma...
Based upon our own testing and use of this router, we can say that Western Digital has made high-performance networking extremely simple and easy to use while still giving you the opportunity to really tweak a lot of settings if you want to/know how to...
Abstract: Western Digital is not a name typically associated with networking and routers. If you look at their product line over the last few years it makes sense though. The Western Digital MY NET routers should make a fine accompaniment to their Powerline AV ...

The My Net N900 is a solid first effort by Western Digital as it forges a path in the home consumer wireless networking market. Western Digital clearly put a lot of attention into making the My Net N900 (and we assume the rest of the My Net line) easy to...
