Hello, I don't a see a NETWORK forum. No windows forums either?

I have a WD My Book Live 2TB Personal Cloud Storage NAS I bought 2 years ago. I was put off by how slow the wireless transfers were between my laptops an the NAS drive so I did not use anymore.

The Drive has the AC cable and an Ethernet cable that connects to the Router. I wonder If can use the drive just as an external storage drive by connecting it to my Ethernet port on my Dell/Windows 8.1 laptop?

TIA.
