Hello everyone,
I too have a R6300v2 router and I can't seem to get Time Machine to recognize it when I click on "Select Disk" from the Time Machine Preferences. I'm on High Sierra 10.13.4. I set up my 2TB external USB HD by following the user guides and I can connect to the USB HD via readyshare but Time Machine doesnt recognize it. I didn't see anyone provide a solution to this problem.
Thank you!
