Hi Patrick_2,

Welcome to NETGEAR Community!

The ORBI's USB port is only for printers with ReadyPrint. It's not available for external storage.

Thanks for the reply. I would like to have some information if someone has successfully setup a time machine over WIFI USB with the RBR50.

  Thanks for the reply. I have tried these steps, but the tutorial is outdated and it did not work anymore this way.
