Mac, Readyshare and NTFS drive

[baforer]

I was considering getting a Netgear WNDR3700 with the ReadyShare feature. Do you know if a MAC can write to an NTFS formatted drive with ReadyShare?

What makes me ask this question, is that a MAC cannot write to an NTFS drive, however I have PCs with NTFS formatted drives sharing files with my MAC and I can write to those shared folders. I assume this is because the PC is actually writing the file. Does the same behavior apply to Netgear ReadyShare devices?

Yes, the same behavior applied. The Mac is talking to the WNDR3700 via SMB/CIFS, the network file protocol. The format of the WNDR3700's drive doesn't matter, just as it doesn't when you are dealing with shares on PCs (or other NASes, for that matter).
