R8000P ReadyShare no longer works as Time Machine drive after Mac OS upgrade to High Sierra
Since upgrading to the latest Mac OS (High Sierra) this week, my MacBook Pro no longer sees the external USB drive hanging off of my R8000P Nighthawk X6S router as a Time Machine target. This worked up to the moment I upgraded the Mac's OS.
I saw in another thread on the community that a guy with a ReadyNAS device was experiencing the exact same issue.
Have any of you solved this?
I was not able to successfully change to AFP. But, I did end up just safely dismounting the device from the Nighthawk, re-mounted it, found it in Finder, formatted it again, and was able to use it once more.

Hi Ziggs,
Have you tried the suggestion of Benzyl if it works on your issue? Kindly provide us feedback if it does or does not work.
Hi Ziggs,
Good to know it works now.
The way I got this to work is in the Connect to Server dialog I used "afp://10.0.1.1" (the ip address of the router) instead of smb://readyshare. Make sure you disconnect from the drive in the finder before adding it as an afp drive.
