Question 1

is this a NAS device?

Accepted Answer

It is. Connected to a router it works well enough, make sure you have a newer AC standard router to get the most from it. Good luck.

Question 2

Need some help. I have an Apple Base Station (located downstairs next to router)  and an Air Port upstairs and downstairs. If I can connect directly to the base station will the hard drive be seen if I'm upstairs or down? I've heard that if I'm upstairs that is the device I'm on and the hard hard drive will not be visible or accessibly.  Sorry not very tech savvy.

Thanks

WD have provided a wealth of information for you to be able to set it up but I can't say whether or not the Apple hardware will or won't work the way you'd like. I can say the device should be discoverable on your home network once the drivers are installed on each machine that you want to be able to access the device.

I can't post the link due to site restrictions so just do a web search for the WD Learning Center.

Question 3

Can you download pictures and files from Android phones to it or just view them from the phone?

Accepted Answer

If you connect your phone to a computer that has access to wd my book hard drive you could save your picture on this hard drive
