My office computers are networked. Can I downed this on the server computer and connect the others at the same time fairly easily? Thanks.

It has to be installed on each computer and the users you create can access though each installed computer or on the office website with their login you assign. you can download 1 copy and install from the server to individual computers.

Yes you can do that (that is what I do) but I suggest you buy the DS213j, the newer version of this. It has more RAM, a newer CPU, and floating-point and it is cheaper! You can attach two external drives or a powered hub with, I believe up to seven devices total.

The two Thunderbolt connections are for daisy chaining with other Thunderbolt devices. You can share the drive on the network but you would not be able to connect two computers to this drive at the same time.

As long as all you are going to do is let them look at files up to 25 users It will not run any programs except for the admin users. You will need a static IP address or take what could be complicated steps to set up dynamic connection to work. So if all you are going to do is share files try google drive, it is free, no need to worry about backing up, hardware, and it is always up and running. It even supports use of spreadsheet, wordprocessor, etc. I would need to know what you are trying to accomplish. If you ant to serve programs liek Quickbooks, etc you will need to go the Windows Standard and buy two different sets of licenses unless all the people will be at the same location then you only need user CALs. This route will consume a lot of time to set up your own business server, you better love IT.

Hello, it works fine... Mine have been working for 3 years. To do what you want: 1) For example, Connect your internet ethernet to port 5 2) Computer A port 2 and Computer B to port 3 ------- (I am assuming you are connected on port 1) 3) Create 3 VLANs Name, for example where there are the VLANS DATA, Audio , Voip, etc... make yours (Alpha, Beta, Internet) 4) Then go to the specific sections where you can put a check on the ports and: and make sure all have the check in them, except for the ports you dont want to communicate. Done! If you want i can help you via team viewer, My twitter is @RomelSan

The router can handle this many connected devices, but the actual number of concurrently active clients will depend on what those clients are doing. i.e. 100 devices can be connected to the Network at the same time, but there wouldn't be enough bandwidth to support them simultaneously downloading/transfer/etc. data at the same time.

Yes you can. At my office we are all networked together, so we can all use each others printers.

I'm pretty sure that it shouldn't be able to function simultaneously on two seperate networks. I believe the two ports are for redundancy. But if it IS possible, then the networks would have to share IP space because you can only assign the terastation one single IP address

All the connecting points are easy to access, connecting it should not be a problem. I'm not very savy at setting up stuff like that, but I was able to connect & use mine within minutes. I hope this helps.

Yes, it can powered all the drives at same time. But this can't use as network media server.

I think you can only connect one computer directly. But if you connect it to USB of a router you can share it across a network.

That would require a print server instead of a hub. Puts the printer on a network. Easy to do.

You should be able to plug it into several different Win7 or Win8 PCs if you connect to them one at a time. But if you mean several computers backing up simultaneously, you WOULD have to be on a network as the others have said.

Yes, you can connect two of them, it should not matter but I would not run both at the same time.

I have three of these and I am very happy with it. It is quicker, and a very easy install. I have the three computers networked and it is a smooth operation to switch between all of them. I hope this helps. Mark.

I would expect you can if each computer has been linked with the printer via the router through wireless mode. If trying to hard-wire connect three different computers you need some type "splitter" box with connections to each computer and then to the computer. Me, I have two different printers (Epson wireless connected, and second older Epson haywire

The manual says no. You can set it to use both on the same network for faster throughput. I have not tried, but that is what the manual says.
