Western Digital MY NET N900 Dual-Band Router

Testing:

File Copy

I tried four Scenarios:

I copied Files from my Western Digital 2TB Green HDD to my Seagate 250GB Free Agent plugged into USB over Gb Ethernet (Cat5e)
Then I copied from the USB Drive to my WD 2TB Green HDD

Next I copied files from my 64GB OCZ Agility 2 to my Synology DS411+ 4 bay NAS

Then I copied from my WD 2TB Green to my Synology DS411+ NAS

You can see from the results that the speed and capabilities of your drive will greatly affect performance of your data transfers.

A Wifi Analyzer On Both my Android and iOS Devices proved a 10% signal strength boost in our home office when compared with the previous 450MB Wireless Router.

Here are the transfer tests to two wireless devices in low range areas of my house. The second device is operating on the 5Ghz Network, you can see the transfer speed difference between the two.

Overall thoughts:

The My NET router performs very well. As Western Digital promised the router is remarkably easy to program, as proof I was up and running with WPA2 security in less than four minutes after inserting the disk. The advanced features are comprehensive and will fit the needs of most networks, even for power users. Western Digital hit the mark, including seven GB/s ethernet ports, two USB storage interfaces, dual 450MB/s networks to maximize bandwidth, and out of the box media prioritized QOS as icing on the cake. You won’t find an easier to use more feature rich router for the 179.99 price point. Way to go WD MY NET N900, you win the TechwareLabs Gold cube award!
