Nighthawk M1 and WD Mycloud mirror

0Does anyone know if it is possible to connect a WD Mycloud mirror to the Ethernet port on the Nighthawk m1 so I can use it as a media server?

    You should be able to. I have mine plugged into a switch/hub providing access to other pc's on my  lan and also wifi devices. All my wifi devices can access anything connected to the ethernet. keep in mind you will have to press the power button after the M1 has booted or the ethernet port will be in sleep mode

      Thanks for the suggestion. I will give it a go. If I can get it to work it will allow me to eliminate a Telstra gateway pro/net gear v7610 which I've not been happy with.
