This review is from : N1T1 Network Storage Server
no open port 80 no remote access . First let me state that the device is easy to set up and is a fine NAS for a home network. The ket word is "home"
What you don't find out until you try to set up remote access is that it requires port 80 to be opened by your ISP in order to access your files. My ISP, Cablevision charges an extra $10 a month for the privilege of opening this port. I found out that most ISP's block port 80. Some will not even open it for a fee. My advice to potential purchasers is to check with your ISP to make sure you can use port 80 if you want remote access to your files.

N1T1 Network Storage Server Reviews
Affordable Network Storage . The LG N1T1 is an excellent and very affordable network attached storage system that has an added feature in that it can also act as a dedicated external hard drive with a built-in DVD driver as well. For anyone looking for an NAS for light home or office duty, LG has designed a real winner here that is a solid product, well designed and extremely easy to set up on your home network. Keep in mind that this is NOT an NAS designed for larger and more complex office duty that needs both redundancy or critcal back-up. This is a much simpler system for the person that would like to set-up an NAS on their home network without having to spend $500-$1000 dollars.
Set-up on the network is extremely easy, you simply install the LG NAS detector software CD on your laptop and connect to the unit files wirelessly, the N1T1 must also be connected via an ethernet cable (supplied in the kit) to your home network router. If your router is also cabled to a desktop,this computer will recognize the N1T1 instantly as being on the network.
The N1T1 can be set-up on multiple computers operating on both Windows and Mac OS. The set-up on my MacBook Pro's was a bit more involved than on the Windows 7 laptops but still worked. Keep in mind that most NAS systems, including the N1T1, create a new network and are user name and password protected.
All in all, this is a great NAS that seems to work very well, is simple to use and is perfect for the basic home network user who has multiple PC's or Mac's and wants to connect wirelessly to a storage system

N1T1 Network Storage Server Opinions
A rose with a few thorns but worth the trouble in the end . In one word, the LG N1T1/DD1 NAS is enigmatic. If you can handle its perturbations, it's a fabulous piece of hardware. However, you might have to see a psychiatrist after trying to set it up.First let me enumerate the best things about it: 1. Great price (I got mine for $110 shipped); 2. Relatively super-fast uploading and downloading for a network storage device (I clocked mine uploading at over 2.3 megabytes per second over a wireless g connection from my laptop); 3. A full TB of storage; 4. Built-in DVD writer; 5. USB port can be used to a) attach a printer, b) plug in a storage device, c) connect it directly to the computer, or d) connect a UPS (although I couldn't get my N1T1 to successfully cooperate with my APC ES 725 unit) 6. A decent and richly-featured web interface; 7. A hefty load of built-in amenities, such as a) a host of file and media sharing features (FTP, SAMBA, DDNS, UPnP, DLNA, iTunes, AFP, NFS, Torrent, and a built-in web server), b) folder access control c) power management/sleep mode, d) a host of back-up options (including TimeMachine and a folder mirroring feature), e) email notifications, f) remote internet access, g) SMART drive monitoring, and h) a built-in community message board; 8. Android and iPhone apps; and 9. Pretty decent customer support.Another great feature is that if you plug a USB drive into the N1T1, you can copy a large-capacity folder from one device to another with the web interface and leave the unit to itself to finish copying the folder. Your computer is totally freed up and you can even turn it off and the N1T1 will finish the copy job on its own--"set it and forget it" style. You can also copy a folder to another directory on the same drive (the USB drive or the N1T1) this same way.Okay, now here are some of its imperfections: 1. The most obvious: Horrible, HORRIBLE documentation (including the manual--which is only so bad, the built-in help menu--truly lacking, and online and downloaded documentation--confusing, vague, and ambiguous); 2. A consequence of the bad documentation--a pain to set up, and an even bigger pain to update the web interface; 3. When "moving" files or folders, they are laboriously and time-consumingly re-copied in-full; 4. The mobile apps are buggy and underdeveloped; and 5. As far as I can tell, no FTPS (although it does have SSL (HTTPS) for the web server).I would like to give anyone who buys one of these things a few pointers when setting it up, which, unless you're a professional mind-reader, is nothing other than bewildering due to the indolent documentation. The real crux lies in updating the "old web ui" to the "new web ui." First of all, you have to use the NAS detector program that comes in the update download package. (They never tell you this, and it's easy to believe that you're supposed to use the one that you installed when you inserted the setup CD that came with the NAS--but you're not. If you do you'll be waiting forever for the update to happen.) Secondly, although they tell you to set the IP address to 192.168.0.200, they never tell you that you also have to forward the router's TFTP ports to the NAS. Otherwise, once again, you'll be waiting forever for the update to take place. Another thing that happened to me was that when I tried to enable UPnP (on the old web ui), the NAS got caught in an infinite loop because my V***z*n router only lets you forward so many ports. The only way to get it out of the loop was to download the N1T1 Reset ISO image file (on the LG website--Google it), burn it to disc, and turn on the NAS with the CD stuck in the slot. The NAS swallows the CD, runs for about 45 minutes, then chirps letting me know the unit has been reset. One last annoyance was that, after updating the web ui, the new ui's firmware file was corrupt when downloading it from the LG website. There is a fix for this, however--Google the name of the firmware download (zip) file, and you'll find it on LG's UK site. That copy is the same file but is intact.Like I said, the good way outweighs the bad. You might go a little crazy if you don't have tons of patience and a spectacular sense of humor, but in my opinion in the end it was all worth it.
