(More customer reviews)Network attached storage on a wireless router is the concept of LaCie's Wireless Space- good one. However, this device has inherent flaws and shouldn't be on the market- at least until the flaws are addressed. The flaws are too big to ignore. I had no problem setting up the router, other than repeated attempts with the "Network Assitant". This so-called assistant has problems that you can read about elsewhere. I'm a network engineer by trade but the storage device does not unmount volumes and leaves the artifacts within "My Computer" to aggravate and possibly damage my XP operating system. I used a usb port to connect another hard drive to LaCie's wireless network and found the wireless capability to work as advertised. I had looked forward to a simple file transfer system but the device's mandatory software had taken simplicity away. There's nothing simple about the interface, which provides no information about why it malfunctions. I read the PC Magazine review on the product and found that it had the same issues as mine: [...]
I never took the plastic coating off to "enjoy" the stylization look that is supposed to make you happy. Nothing to enjoy- get a brick and paint it black and stare at it- you'll be happy you didn't purchase the LaCie instead. This thing isn't what it's cracked up to be. If someone does come up with a router/ NAS that works easily- without the inherent problems of the LaCie Wireless Space, then I'll buy it. Support doesn't recognize the flaws yet and will suggest you exchange the unit. Don't bother. All of them seem to have the same problems as mine, judging from the reviews. This was my first LaCie purchase because I had been told that the company made good products. Innovative products should be tested before they are offered for sale. Is there another company who makes the nas/ router? I'm interested. I would try the LaCie again too if the firmware updated to where the device was workable.
