After updating R7800 to firmware 1.0.2.36 Time Machine can't see network drive
After updating R7800 to firmware 1.0.2.36 Time Machine can't see network drive. I can' connect to the drive but it won't show up under Time Machine drive select. It was working fine in the previous versions. I see in the release notes that 1.0.2.36 has a SMBv3 update.
Can anyone else confirm this issue?
Updating the firmware to Voxel's custome firmware fixed the issue.

Did you reset the router to factory settings after the firmware flash?
New firmware sometimes introduces changes that are not compatible with the old configuration.
So a factory reset is the first thing to try if you have problems with new firmware.
First note down the settings – screen grabs can help here.

Yes SMBv1 was replaced if Time Machine app can not support version 3 of smb that may be the problem I would try the reset of the router since changes may have been made to other parts of the new firmware. Would not be the first time that a upgrade in security on a program causes issues with other older programs that have not been patched with a need update.
The download link for the latest firmware is still broken (file not found), how did you download it?
It is usually better to stick with just one conversation, especially as this one is about a completely different subject:
Unable to download latest firmware/"File not found... - NETGEAR Communities
Firmware Update under the Administor setting on your router's webadmin portal. There is a "check" for firmware update. It finds it from there.
