"Fast router, not so good for storage networking."
3.0 stars

on May 2, 2010 by vaclavp

Pros: Fast data transfer, easy to set up, nice compact unit, long range

Cons: Issues with external storage format compatibility, technical support located overseas is hard to understand,

Summary: Other NAS drives are lot faster than E3000 USB attached external drive. It would be nice if Cisco added eSATA interface in addition to USB for networking external drives. Although E3000 manual claims that either NTFS or FAT formats are compatible with the router, I had to re-formart my external drive from NTFS to FAT format in order to be able to network my external drive.

Informative review. Interetgin comment re: HD reformat. 2 ?s Did you notice and heat issues? Do you run the router 24/7? I am considering this device but am concerned about other users reporting high heat as a problem.

Tks
