N900 and 4-bay external USB drive

Thanks for the reply, Nissan. I figure that after a few days of messing with the router and email support. I try the VPN too but it’s a pain for my family (non-tech) to use. I guess I have to buy a My Book Live just for FTP and cloud storage. Has anybody try converting a non-wd drive to My Book Live or load WD image ? I was thinking of getting a My Book live, image backup, then restore onto non-wd drive.
