Connecting External HD to Nest Wifi Via Ethernet

[TroyT]

Hey guys, I just want to check to see if I’m correct.

I have a wester Digital My Cloud Home Personal Cloud Storage NAS 6 Tb Ethernet LAN…

If I connect this via the spare USB port on the Nest Router, will I be able to assess this HD on my network. 
This is primarily for storage and not for the TV to access?

There is no USB port on any Nest Wifi pucks, but I guess you mean the available ethernet port? Yes, that should work.

And would you want more ethernet ports, you can add an unmanaged switch:

Hi folks,

@olavrb, thanks for the help!

@TroyT, thanks for reaching out. Like what olavrb mentioned,your Google Wifi's Ethernet port works like other routers. Your Western Digital Cloud Storage would work with this. 

Thanks,

Edward
