Is it possible to disable the SSD broadcast on this router?

Yes through the netgear net genie software that is built into the router when u install it. Also you can go to the IP address for the router and adjust there

No. Get a different router though. Even with the latest patch this one still doesn't like to play nice more than 80% of the time.

Mine also has Liteon msata. I wonder why there are 2 different ssd in this model.

no - its a network device with storage, access to disks are via the network

Great question! There is a firmware update that just came out for this. Also make sure you never defrag an SSD it will turn it into a paper weight.

Yes, it can be disabled quite easily... If you had the router, you'd log into it, choose the "Wireless" tab at the top of the page, then the "Basic Settings" tab that appears beneath it: on that page, you'd then see "Wireless Network Mode" second from the top and set it to "Disabled." You might also look into the Tomato community's firmwares to see if any of them suits you better. I've used DD-WRT for 4 years, but I'm going to try Tomato (probably "Tomato by Shibby") as I've seen it recommended over DD-WRT quite a few times recently and it's more actively developed. Hopefully either one of them or DD-WRT does what you need them to! :)

Currently I don't run anything else off the second recepticle, no. But dust collection would be a perfect application because it's something you want to come on with the router and go off when you turn the router off.

I have 4 external hard drives hooked up to my wndr3700v2 via a USB hub and the performance is very good. There seems to be a problem and about once a week I lose access to one of the hard drives, but rebooting the router fixes that. Hopefully that problem will get fixed in a future firmware release. *** Update *** I had Netgear replace my router with a new one to address some buggy behavior. The new one has the same issues. This router is just a little rough around a few edges. Regarging the USB HDD performance, I am quite happy with it with the exception that is seems to lose the connection to one of the hard drives on Sundays (SERIOUSLY). *** Update 2 *** I discovered that there is a sleep feature in my Seagate external USB hard drives. I disabled that using the Seagate/Iomega utility and my NAS performance has been great with no disconnects. Currently I have 3 USB hard drives connected via a powered USB hub and am happy with it.

I can not speak to that issue, however I do not care for mine. I have to reset my router everytime I use my smp-N100.I have two other wi-fi sony dvd players, 2 smart tvs, and another video streaming device, along with 4 smart phones, 3 tablets, and 2 computers that operate fine off this router, It is not the router!

This link works just tested it. http://poweredbymushkin.com/support/ssd-firmware-updates

Yes, but you can use a switch at the connection site to avoid this. Hope this helps

No. However, there is a special link that provides for more manual fan control. Starting/stopping mechanical drives produces higher faults and lower MTBF times. SSD drives are not so affected.

Not that I am aware of. I just use it to transfer files as needed then disconnect it.

I do know that can disable DHCP and I am pretty sure that you can disable the WAN Port which I haven't tried in doing so. I also found the router listed on Open WRT site. You will enjoy this router as much I am enjoying it. Been streaming Netflix, playing on my PS3 and downloading without an issue.

Go to Control Panel/Network Connections, right click on your connection and click disable.

Yes. According to the product manual (http://www.manualowl.com/m/ZyXEL/MWR102/Manual/352155?page=40) you can disable broadcast SSID, which would make the wireless network invisible to most ordinary connections.

Agree with response from Randy but add that if you have a good firewall setup you shouldn't need to powerdown the router or the drive. This also helps for timed backups during non-peak hours.
