Has recently become the owner of a Western Digital My Book ® WE ™ II 2TB,
However, has encountered problems in getting my “My Book” in my home network where I’m running with a router: Netgear cg3100 (Broadband) as the base.
Also have an Apple AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme in “bridge” mode by my Netgear (Base)
The problem:
My Apple Extreme (running in “bridge” mode), are connected to Netgear router with no problems, it is precisely when I want to plug in “My Book” drive through apple extreme that I can not find it on any of my Mac Book that is the problem.
Judgement tests I have done:
-
Apple AirPort Extreme (Creates own network on it and connect my book) then connect my Mac computer to apple extreme - it works!
However, I want it to be in “bridge” mode to netgear router so that I can use internet on the same network. -
Netgear Router (Run it as a base out to the internet).
Works fine to drive my book through this, but a bit slower transfer.
Are there any settings you should do in order to be able to find a typical NAS hard drive / server (My Book ® WE ™ II 2TB) through a router in “bridge” mode (apple extreme) to another router (netgear)?
Grateful for creative ideas and answers!
Units / flow I want to use:
Western Digital My Book ® WE ™ II 2TB → Apple Airport Extreme Base Station → Netgear Router cg3100 (Wired & Freeserve - The network I’m plugged in)
