Time Machine and Orbi RBS50

Hi, is it possible to use the USB ports on both the main and satellite for printer and disks, and to perform Time Machine backups? thanks

Right now the USB is only used for printers with ReadyPrint.

    DarrenM — I spoke with a NETGEAR pre-sales rep yesterday about this very topic. He said the USB 2.0 port would, in fact, work with a hard drive and Apple’s Time Machine. 

     

    So, will it or won’t it?

      Hello MajorWebUser

       

      Orbi has not been updated to use Readyshare features as of right now it only officially supports Readyshare print for printers via the USB.
