FasTrack. My Net N600 Dual-Band Routers My Net N750 Dual-Band Routers My Net AC1300 HD Dual-Band Routers Popular streaming services are pre-prioritized for optimum quality. FasTrack comes with pre-programmed services including Netflix, HuluPlus, CinemaNow, Pandora, YouTube, Skype and Spotify. FasTrack automatically analyzes and prioritizes these services to ensure they get the proper bandwidth so you and your family enjoy a seamless entertainment experience. If those aren't your favorites, you can customize up to 21 different services using the My Net Dashboard. Preserves your WAN upstream traffic. FasTrack makes sure there is enough bandwidth for your router to communicate back up to your streaming service to send more of your movie down. This helps to avoid hesitations and pauses in your entertainment. Traditional routers sometimes have a delay in this response due to heavy traffic congestion. Utilizes traffic-session analysis instead of packet analysis. FasTrack sees the bigger picture. For example, it recognizes your movie session as a whole unit and not in bits and pieces of data packets like traditional routers. Because of this, FasTrack delivers a smooth entertainment experience with less stuttering and buffering.*	FasTrack Plus. FasTrack made smarter!

This makes our My Net N900 and N900 Central routers even smarter. FasTrack Plus automatically allocates more bandwidth opening a wider lane for your entertainment while providing efficient bandwidth to all the other things happening on the network. Real-time traffic analysis.

Upgrading your system could be risky, so make sure you have an extra copy of your photos, videos, music and files in case you hit a snag. With high-capacity storage from WD, you've got a great backup plan. Back up the easy way with WD Smartware. Your data is not just data; it's your family photos, your financial documents, your music - your life. Make sure you protect your memories before your upgrade to Windows 8. WD makes it easy to back up with WD Smartware. Here's how:
	First, install the WD Smartware backup software included on most WD desktop and portable hard drives for your PC. You'll be up and running in minutes.
		Next, select the files and folders you want backed up or back up your files by category. It's up to you. The backup gauges show how much information you have to be backed up in each category. You can even mouse over a category to see a file count.
	Simply click "Start Backup" and WD SmartWare will automatically start backing up your files. As your backup is running, the category gauges will change color showing you the backup as it happens. When finished, you'll see a status screen and information about your backup. It's that easy!

Backing up with a WD hard drive is easier than ever. With the File History feature in Windows 8, you can automatically save an extra copy of your photos, files, favorites and contacts folders to the drive of your choice. Choose WD and get effortless backup from the brand you trust. Here's how:
	From the Control Panel, select File History. Or you can search on "backup" in Settings from the Charms Bar in the Metro UI and select Save backup copies of your files with File History.
		Connect your WD drive into the USB port and Windows 8 will detect the connection, then simply click “Turn on”. If you have a My Book Live or My Net N900 Central, select “Add network location” and select your network drive from the list.
	Now you're all set up to save files to your drive. File History automatically saves a copy of every file in your libraries, contacts, favorites and desktop. If there are folders not included by default that you also want to save using File History, you can create a new library or add a folder to an existing library.
If you ever want to access old versions of files or files that you've save previously, click on "Restore personal files". Then select the folders you want to restore (or you can choose to select all folder) and click "Restore".

Examples of the number of photos, songs, videos and any other files that can be stored on a hard drive are provided for illustrative purposes only. Your results will vary based on file size and format, settings, features, software and other factors.

As used for storage capacity, one megabyte (MB) = one million bytes, one gigabyte (GB) = one billion bytes, and one terabyte (TB) = one trillion bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending on operating environment. As used for buffer or cache, one megabyte (MB) = 1,048,576 bytes. As used for transfer rate or interface, megabyte per second (MB/s) = one million bytes per second, megabit per second (Mb/s) = one million bits per second, and gigabit per second (Gb/s) = one billion bits per second.
