Can ReadyNas 214 backup to drives that is connected to Netgear R7000 Router? Or other netgear routers.

I'm close to a buying decision, seeing that I'm at 94% usage on my Duo! (or maybe win the one on offer here - who knows! :smileywink: ) I'm more inclined to the RN212, but a 214 would be a nice upgrade!
Last question. Do the RN212/RN214 models support the latest 6TB drives from Toshiba (N300 - HDWN160UZSVA for example)?

Not sure why you'd want to do that when you can connect one directly to the NAS. Provided the router shares it over SMB I think that should be possible however the samba code on routers is often a lot older than that on our ReadyNAS. I haven't tested this.
I don't think the Orbi supports USB storage at this time.
