yes seems to in the beat release that been passed out , no detail yet on config or anything else
It looks as though although in the beta release it is not in the publicily available firmware. Fingers crossed things go well and it makes it to general release.
yes a beta release that has been handed out to some public users and was reported by one of those users as working
I would be interested in joining the beta program. I wonder if the final release of the update will support Apple time machine, I'm guessing it would be great either way.
I'm in the same boat, I guess I should have researched this more before buying. I just purchased the RBK50 today and expected to be able to connect my external HDD for Time Machine backups.

If there is a beta program or a firmware upgrade (since the last reply in June), I am interested in joinging as well.
