Hi everyone, Do you know how to link a WD MyCloud PR4100 to your network without using a physical connection? Since you can't connect directly to a switch or modem, could using a spare TP-Link TP-WA901ND as a bridge between your NAS and your existing router in another room work? This would let you access your files wirelessly while away from home. Thanks, Lloyd

Did you check the instructions? I just looked at the TL-WA901ND page and the details say it works with WDS Repeater and wireless bridge settings. See page 8 and beyond of the AP manual for configuration in ‘Client Mode’. For mode changes, refer to page 11 onward.

I understand, it can be tricky at first. Glad you got the confirmation!
