Time Machine fails with RAX80-V1.0.6.138_1.0.76
Time Machine use to work just fine with FM V1.0.5.126_1.0.65. After upgrading, Time Machine looks for the backup disk but returns the error message: Backup Disk Not Available. Try backing up again ...

I know time machine support was removed from the RAX200 without being put in the release notes. Wonder if this device was too.

It would appear Netgear silently removed support for wireless Time Machine backups with the latest firmware (1.0.6.138_1.0.76). I was very disappointment when I applied this firmware thinking that this wireless Time Machine support would continue. After a couple of days, I noticed that the router was no longer broadcasting a Bonjour network name (zeroconf) with available services. So, I did a search and found the previous firmware that I was using and downgraded back (1.0.5.126_2.1.46.1) since I need wireless Time Machine backups. You'd think that someone who wrote the release notes would've made this bullet point so the user base would be informed prior to applying the firmware update. Go figure.
