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

Yes. The NAS features are a little lacking, and the lack of 802.11ac might hurt in a few years, but for now, FasTrack is the first exciting thing to happen to routers in a while.Western Digital My Net N900 HD• Networking: 802.11n (2.4+5 GHz Dualband)• Eth...
