Orbi RBR50 use USB connected Harddisk for TimeMachine backup OSX 10.14

I connected my time machine harddrive to the orbi satalite with USB. The harddrive is visible through smb://readyshare/USB_Storage from my OSX and i can access the data, but it's not available under "Select Disk" in the time machine. 

I have created that points to the disk, but i can't choose "Advanced Options" when i do a right click on the share where i could set it as a time machine source.

I can backup when i connect the disk directly to the laptop.

Any help welcome.
