It is what it is. IMO, USB up to 2.0 has been problematic and never has had good performances for the tech behind it. I dont' think it was ever meant to be realistically good for storage solutions. USB3.0 has improved upon this and 3.1 will probably make things closer to NAS performances. I've never relied on USB for any storage. I do have a old 2.0 WD drive that is just back up and file storage. Was good for it's day. It's over 10 years old now.
With NAS I can adjust the storage sizes as needed and still maintain great performances. USB can't hold a candle to NAS.
NG has good modems. The CM line is good. Just modems only though.
Good Luck.

Ah ha. Well there you have it. I recommend BYOM next time. Separate router too.
Good Luck.
