Can't get Time Machine to work with Nighthawk
Mac OS Mojave 10.14.3
Nighthawk(R) X4S R7800
Router Firmware Version V1.0.2.62 (just updated)
I bought a new 1TB Seagate SSD external HD. I formatted it according to the instructions low...
After playing around with this for a little bit, I was able to get the attached error message (which I think is the one you're reporting) by trying to connect to "smb://readyshare/T_Drive" and then mounting the .dmg file. It is fixed by ejecting both the "TimeMachine" and "readyshare" mounts from the sidebar in Finder. Next, still in Finder, go to the menu bar and choose Go -> Connect to Server and typing in only "smb://readyshare". It pops up with a message box and I choose "T_Drive" (USB_Storage is also available but unselected) and then clicking Ok and mounting the .dmg file. It would then work correctly.
Note - as always, if you changed any of the names for the ready share or anything you will have to change them in the examples above.
Hope that helps!
I've followed the steps to the point and I am seeing the error message you've attatched ("Time machine can't use the disk image because it is read-only").
Not able to get passed it. Any other tips? Thanks for your efforts!
