Time Capsule on Orbi?
Just curious... has anyone gotten their Airport Time Capsule to work on Orbi yet? Or, more generally, is anyone using Time Machine with Orbi? I've got my Time Capsule hooked up to the Orbi satellite. You can see it in the list of attached devices, but it's showing up in my Finder as a SMB share (with a PC icon) and I'm unable to connect to it. Would it work better with the main Orbi hub? Thanks for any tips you might have! (I'm running macOS Sierra 10.12.2 with the Orbi Firmware Version 1.4.0.18)

R7800 can't see shared SMB folders through VPN
Hi, I started using the VPN service on the R7800, and I can use Microsoft's Remote Desktop connection app on iOS 9.3 to connect to my home computer (Windows 8.1) through the internet as if I was on the LAN (192.168.1.2). However, apps which read shared SMB folders don't detect them (Infuse 4 pro). Similarly, on my Nexus 6P, Solid Explorer can't open the shared folders when connected through the VPN. Is it possible to read shared SMB folders from Windows remotely through the VPN on the R7800? I have also tried to ping 192.168.1.2 from my iPad and there is no response. When I ping my Android devices, they do respond though. But, again, RDP to that computer works, so I'm not sure what's going on, anyone with more knowledge can help?
