Erik, Can I ask you another question? At the moment, I have my WD my cloud NAS attached via ethernet to airport extreme. I also have an airport express on the network, and airport express has an ethernet port too. Do you know whether I can actually attach the WD my cloud to the ethernet port on airport express rather than my airport extreme?
