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
  • But we bet it won’t stand up to any abuse.

  • 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-...

  • 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...

  • 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 ...

  • Signal strength is average, Can't mount the router vertically
  • 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...
