Time Machine does not recognize USB drives connected to RAX200
I have been using the Nighthawk RAX200 router for slightly more than a year now. I had attached a Western Digital 2TB USB drive to the USB port of the RAX200 for use in Time Machine back ups to my iM...
What firmware version are you on? there was a change around that time.
did you try a factory reset or downgrading the firmware?
The firmware I'm running is V1.0.6.138_1.0.76. I haven't tried a factory reset or firmware downgrade yet as I'm in the beginning stages of troubleshooting.
FYI, the former path that was recognized by Time Machine was: "afp://RAX200._afpovertcp._tcp.local"
This no longer works. I tried "smb://readyshare" which allows the USB drives to be recognized by Finder, but Time Machine does not.
Is there another path name that would allow Time Machine to be recognized? Any other settings I can adjust in the router? I really don't want to reset or downgrade the firmware unless I can be assured that it works.
Not sure as I'm not a mac/time machine guy so not sure its use/settings.
