QuestionEthernet InterfaceOn the product features list it says Ethernet interface For simple connection to your Wi-Fi router (not included). What is not included? Will we need to purchase anything with the hard drive?
Asked 12 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer The 2 TB Central comes with all cables you'll need to hook it to your network; specifically a 3 foot Cat 5 network cable and the power cord. If you have an open port on your main router, just plug it in and you'll be in good shape. In the box was: the drive, power supply, Cat 5 Network cable, quick start guide and Seagate back up software. Everything you need; assuming the software recognizes the drive on your network. (see my review). I think the product description was trying to tell you the wi-fi router was not include; that you need to have. This drive hooks to an existing home network via the supplied cable.

QuestionI lost the power cord for this, what is the best way to replace it. I called (chatted) with Seagate and they said they didn’t sell replacement adapters. I have the specs but searches haven’t turned up anything. Any advice? Thanks!

Questioni have an lg 60" new tv . will i be able to access this from my smart lg lm600 tv?
Asked 12 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer I think so. Check to see if LG has the Seagate app in the LG App Store. My LG, which is WebOS, works just fine. Also, you can use a cheap cast stick like chromecast.
