Getting to know your CENTRIA
NETGEAR CENTRIA is an all-in-one device with three essential functions.
• Back up automatically. All your computers—Windows PCs and Macs—can back up
incrementally on the CENTRIA internal hard drive or on an external USB storage drive.
• Share easily. Store your files and media on your CENTRIA and access or stream them
from any Internet-enabled device.
• Connect quickly. Enjoy high-performance connectivity throughout your home with your
900 Mbps, dual-band WiFi router.
CENTRIA comes in two models: WNDR4720, which comes with a 2 TB hard drive, and
WNDR4700, for which you provide your own hard drive. You can upgrade the hard disk drive at
any time. Both models have two SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports for adding even more storage,
should you need it. An SD card reader affords simple, single-click backup of media to the internal
hard drive.
