I'm in the same boat, just installed my new Orbi but wondering how to hook up something for time machine to connect to. There are three of us in the house needing to use this. What is an NAS hard drive and how would it work?

I beleive the USB port is only for printers currently. Something NG is still reviewing or working on I guess.
NAS is a separate device that has from two up to 4 or more drive bays. This unit has built in networking features. Users install hard drives into these units and use this to store there data on. Then connect these devices to there networks and can share out the data using different configurations.
