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 v...
Updating the firmware to Voxel's custome firmware fixed the issue.
I tried doing a factory reset and the issue is still there.
Updating the firmware to Voxel's custome firmware fixed the issue.
Same problem here: 1.0.2.36 breaks the time machine connection (It does not allow afp apple file protocol). The suggestion to switch to Voxel's firmware works. Netgear is sending emails to users urging to update to latest firmware due to security protocol issues -- There should be a note next to the firmware file that says "This will break afp/time machine connections"
See my post on this problem:
There appear to be a lot of unhappy R7800 owners that can not use their network drive with firmware version 1-0-2-36. You could flash the prior version (1-0-2-32) or wait for Netgear to fix this bug. I wonder if Netgear tested external drive functionality with firmware version 1-0-2-36. If you look at my post screenshots, it is pretty easy to see that the file size reporting with version 1-0-2-36 is broken.
- Fixed in 1.0.2.38 although it does not say it is, it is.
