Has anyone utilised the 'cat5' socket on the new iboost router to connect in a 'mycloud' storage system to enable viewing of contents away from the motorhome whilst hooked up to an Internet signal.

Can't see why it wouldn't work, I haven't tried it though. I have got a WD NAS drive connected to our router in the van, but we only use the local WiFi to access it. Just be aware that it will use quite a lot of bandwidth because you have up and downstream traffic.Has anyone utilised the 'cat5' socket on the new iboost router to connect in a 'mycloud' storage system to enable viewing of contents away from the motorhome whilst hooked up to an Internet signal.

Or to put it very simply, it is network cable, it is the wire one would use to connect your computer to the router if you aren't using WiFiHe means by cat 5 and ethernet port rj45.
It's for plugging a network cable into.... be it cat 5 ..cat 6 ..

I have to say, my initial thought was that a simpler solution would be to have the MyCloud at a static location and access that from the MH or indeed wherever you happen to be! I believe the MyCloud service runs it's own DDNS, so you wouldn't have to have a 3rd party provider.I don't know of anyone that has actually tried it though. I know it means duplication, but it would be easier to connect to a 'mycloud' at home than to one in the motorhome once you are out of range to the iboost's own wifi signal.
Ah - that explains it better - during the season the m/h is home. Now I understand why you want to access a server in the m/h rather than one at home.I/we are campsite wardens & wish to store all data in one place & when we visit elderly parents on days off we can show pictures from the past. Plus listen to our music anywhere we maybe.
Indeed. WD route connections via MyCloud.com, which will do the same job.I believe the MyCloud service runs it's own DDNS, so you wouldn't have to have a 3rd party provider.
