  Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.

• The only issue I could possibly see is, if the router is older, it might have an issue reading such a large (14TB) drive. Check the owners manual, they might state a size limit but if it's made for a NAS, I would give it a try.

• The WD Easystore/Elements drives cannot be used as NAS. Some people shuck the externals and put the drives in a NAS array. Plenty of information to do this available on the net.
