Hi All,
2 Years ago i buy My Book 【心得】[紅-外接碟開箱]WD My Book Essential 2TB USB3.0 - theblack的創作 - 巴哈姆特.
The My Book does not have an Ethernet port.I do my work from my laptop while moving a lot from room to room. Still, the WD My Book is a fixed DAS device (Directly Attached Storage), meaning it’s designed to connect via USB to the PC/laptop.
I have Huawei EchoLife HG8045 company router. i’m using that for internet and wifi.

I waste too much time on this. i have to back up and format my laptop hard disk.
Please help me out. Thanks very much in advance.

You can connect the unit to your router, but compatibility between the two devices is not guaranteed until testing. Some routers do not support USB 3.0 hard drives, and some routers need for USB hard drives to be pre-formatted in a particular configuration like FAT32 (The hard drive is factory NTFS). It would be best to consult your router’s documentation for compatibility info and limitations.
