I did have issues with more than one extender on the same network using same SSID name as main router so I had to change one of the extenders to a different SSID.
Question:	Has anyone connected a ps4 of xbox one to the wifi from the range extender? if so, signal and game play any good
Answer:	If you mean an AT&T router signal, yes. If you mean cell tower signal, then no.
Question:	Does it create a new sid or does it exteneded your current sid, so one does not have to switch to differing networks when in range
Answer:	the input voltage is from 100 to 240 volts
Question:	I don't understand how some people give this 4-5 stars and others can't get it to work and give it 1 star
Answer:	there are 4 ports. I use multiple ones as this is the only system I can find that does not change the network name but once a year I also have one break and have to replace it or hard reset it myself.

User questions & answers

Question:	How many display ports does it have vga, hdmi
Answer:	It has 1 Display Port and VGA Port
Question:	Is this computer good for gaming
Answer:	It depends what kind of gaming you're considering. Most likely, this particular one would not fit your needs, especially considering it's small form factor. You would be much better off searching for something with at least mid-tower design (gamers typically use large, ATX full-sized towers), to fit in a decent graphics card. The specs on this PC, using the integrated graphics, especially with upgraded RAM could probably handle some basic gaming, but I wouldn't try pushing games that require high FPS.
Question:	Does it come with a wireless nic (card
Answer:	I am bought cople. All do not have WiFi card. Some computers I was received with cheap external USB adapter. I recommend talk to seller to determ exact configuration. Some computers have SSD on title but on configuration description they don
Question:	Is there room inside for a low-profile GPU
Answer:	Yes the Main board - has two PCI Express x16 connectors - and the SFF case can fit low profile size cards in these slots.

User questions & answers

Question:	how easy is it to set this up in my HOME
Answer:	Easy. Plug it in to power and an Ethernet connection. Download the WD my cloud app on your PC and log in to administer the device. That’s about it.
Question:	Can each family members have their own folder with a password
Answer:	Hi - I bought the 4TB my Cloud Home device. I am still trying all the features. It is possible to let your family members set-up their own user ID, password and dedicated folders which only your family member will have access to etc. I found it very annoying that as administrator of the home cloud, you WILL NOT have any control o what they are storing (or) access to any of those files. May be the WD designed the product that way that individuals have complete data security to their own areas. I am still learning. Good Luck
Question:	Can you install BitTorrent/transmission client on it
Answer:	From what I can see, this is pretty locked out but it does come with a few services preinstalled (Plex, IFTTT etc.)
Question:	Can this be connected to a local network without an internet gateway? Does this require an internet connection to function locally
Answer:	You could but it would be of limited value. It is not designed for local storage. It wants to be a Cloud device. Go read this review and the mnaufacturer’s response: https://www.amazon.com/review/R438M3H6BK69U/ref=cm_cr_srp_d_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B076CTK55W

User questions & answers

Question:	what if the NAS device fails? Can you remove the drives and put in another device to recover data or are they hardware layer encrypted
Answer:	Yes. A long story short, my WD My Cloud Mirror suffered a "blown out" ethernet port due to a lightening strike. I purchased the EX2 Ultra (diskless) and placed my old WD Red drives, that were in the My Cloud Mirror, and it worked flawlessly. It didn't skip a beat. I was up and running like nothing happened. I was so relieved that the content on the drives were unaffected!
Question:	Is the 8tb option include 1 drive at 8tbs or 2-4tb hdds
Answer:	2 4TB drives wich can then be run in a raid configuration.
Question:	Im assuming any advertised capacity would be half using raid
Answer:	Well, this is an old question, so nobody will see my glorious contribution; but here goes anyway! In order to use RAID 1, the two drives in use for that must be of the same size. They should be identical --- well nearly so. But, if one of the drives is slower than the other, the slower drive controls the speed (obviously). Two 6 TB drives in RAID 1, however, does not give you exactly 6 TB. There is a small part of the discs that gets assigned overhead duty to keep track of the status of the mirroring and to manage the mirroring. You could assume a high percentage --- maybe even more than 99%. I can't find any real figures for it, but since a 6 TB drive doesn't hold 6 TB anyway, you might just assume something like 5.98 TB for two nominal 6 TB drives in RAID 1. Keep in mind that RAID isn't free!! Not only is the capacity of the RAID array less than the combined capacity of the drives, there is also a performance hit because everything has to be written more than once and depending on which RAID (n) you choose, it may be split across several drives. Another consideration which I had not previously considered is the age of the drives. If you start with two identical drives, four years from now each of those drives will have been in service for, guess what, four years. If one of them fails, the other may not be long behind. Some folks (what we usually refer to as "THEY") would suggest a mix of drive ages. Your mileage may vary, as "they" say. :-)
Question:	Has anyone used this nas with plex
Answer:	A: You can use this for Plex storage, NOT for running the actual server. You shouldn’t run Plex on any NAS TBH. Store your movies here use a refurbished Optiplex or other desktop computer (headless) as the server.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this come with the power adapter
Answer:	Yes, 110-240v power supply
Question:	Is this compatabible with the ps
Answer:	PS4 maxes out at 8TB. Do not buy this 12TB thinking it will work...trust me I already checked.
Question:	Will this work with a system that only has USB2.0 ports
Answer:	Technically it won't be any faster than a USB2 drive since the limit will be the port on the PC. But it will work no worse and if you ever get a PC with USB3 ports it will work much better.

User questions & answers

Question:	If I'm backing up two cameras, will the drive keep the files separate? Thanks
Answer:	Yes. Each SD card or camera has its own folders on the drive. Just plug in the sd card and it starts updating (only items not previously backed up)
Question:	How can I charge it
Answer:	It comes with a standard USB 3.0 plug as well as a USB wall charger. You can also charge it using the USB 3.0 cable in your computer, but it takes longer.
Question:	Why does this have a usb 3 input instead of usb c? It's new in 2018, very expensive/high end, and has an ssd, so
Answer:	USB C is s style of connector, USB 3.0 is an interface version. They are not the same thing. You can have a USB 3.0 port with a USB A or USB C connector on it. The connector end doesn't determine the interface version.
Question:	Does the “one touch copy” button clear the SD after
Answer:	No. The point of the HD is to be an easy backup of your data while you are on the go. Just a heads up... If you copy the SD card, take more pictures/videos, then back it up again, it will create another copy of all the data on the SD. This device is awesome.
