Can data be accessed and/or transferred wirelessly with this model, or do transfers just happen through USB ports?

This drive is not wireless! As the description states, it uses USB 3.0 to connect.

No. You have the option to use the USB cable directly or you can configure it for wireless. You can choose either option.

Short answer - don't know. There is nothing in the documentation to indicate you can. The USB port seems to be only for extending the drive space. I would say it is not intended to be connected to a computer via USB connection. Mine is connected via the wireless network and it works fine.

I am going to say neither, because it is designed to only connect your network via wired or wireless. The unit has USB port to allow you to take normal usb devices such as drives and scanner and share them over your network. It isn't made to accept incoming wireless signal from a computer and grant access to the network.

The device itself is not Wi-Fi enabled, however if you use a network cable to connect it to an open port on your Wi-Fi access point it will take on an IP address and you can then access it from any wireless device on your network. In this configuration you can transfer files to it in the same way as a wired device can.

I can definitely say you can NOT connect to it via usb. The USB ports are for external devices (which I use a ton).

unfortunately no, but I understand you can get a wireless adapter and configure it through the USB port.

I personally have it set up wireless through my router; but the instruction book states that you can use an USB-Ethernet adaptor and plug it into the USB port in the back of the unit. If you get it, hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

I haven't tried connecting via usb port but connected to the router it has been reasonably fast at about 25mb transfer rate.

Yes, no, and maybe. The modem is an "option", but I have never seen or heard of one that had this option. Mine has a port + connector, but no modem inside. If you have a USB modem, that might work. Right now I connect with the wireless or the wired network.

The best performance is over Ethernet. The USB port allows you to plugin the manufacturers wireless adapter so that the Transporter can operate over a wireless network. I believe the USB port is not supported for any other use. but you can use the Transporter wirelsslt by installing a

Hello, I haven't tried it wireless, but I don't believe so. It says in the description a USB card can be added(sold separately) for a wireless connection. I hope this helps you, I'm not sure how much they cost, but they're probably not to expensive.

I would recommend getting a USB type, there are expasion slots inside but I have found using an external DLink USB transmitter works well if you have N Technology on your wireless router be sure to get an N type USB card

I was told I could use anything a usb port would use. I have plugged in a usb mouse and it work right awayI use it at home with my wireless internet. It connect up with that no problem. I haven't tried elsewhere. I believe it will work.
