Forgive my stupidity on this.. I could take this and just plug it into my Nighthawk Router and be able to make picutre backups from my Cell phone anywhere correct? What other models can this be done with? I seriously need something like this im always plugging my phone in to make backups of the pics!

Any ReadyNas with the ReadyPhotos application installed can automatically backup photos on any mobile device with the companion application installed.

Try to use ReadyCLOUD instead of ReadyPhotos. You get more out of ReadyCLOUD. For the photo features in the ReadyPhotos, you can get those feature from other more modern apps.

All currently in production ReadyNAS (ReadyNAS OS 6 models) has the accompanied app on iOS and Android that allows you to back up photo from your phone to ReadyNAS. You have the option to decide if you want to run backup only when you are on WiFi (as oppose to cellualr data network).

Because each Ready NAS has the same OS on it, they all can do replication. This can be done from one Ready NAS to another or from your Smart phone to the Ready NAS. On you phone just download the Ready Cloud app. and set up Media back up. point it from your phone to your Ready NAS and hit start. I was 4000 miles away from my Ready NAS last week and did this exact thing. Worked well. 30 min. to transfer 200 pictures. Now the only question is how much storage do you need?
