It is not working. It does not support outside network. I talked with the tech support at netgear, R4500 does not support share cloud. I was fooled. I always trusted Costco's buyer, this is a shame.

According to Netgear's USA support forum:

"

What is the difference between WNDR4500 and R4500 router?

The hardware on both units are the same. The difference between the 2 units is the firmware.  The WNDR4500 has 2 additional features compared to R4500.  The Readyshare Cloud and Apple's Time Machine are not supported on R4500.

Notes:
- R4500 are sold only at Costco warehouse.
- The WNDR4500 firmware cannot be use on the R4500 router, or vice-versa. Flashing a different firmware other than the one specified for the unit will void the warranty.
