And, if it turns out you need one, you do not have to buy an overpriced one with an Apple logo on it. So don’t go spending money on a new router just yet.
It holds media files I can stream from router to devices at home or away. I have a HD connected to my router, but not for back up. If you have a functional home network, then perhaps that is why. Why (and how) are you connecting HD to router, anyway? All you need to do is connect the HD to a computer – no router involved. Maybe you just have an older and slower router that may not even be an N-type router. large HDs can affect computer and devices they are connected to sometime, but then I suppose your Mac would tell you so. Routers usually do not affect hard drive performance. this post jumps to the front of the queue each time there is a reply to it.
