Apple time machine with Orbi

Has anyone connected an Apple airport Time machine to an Orbi LAN port ? Will it work to perform backups on my two Macs?

  • I've got my backup (external harddrive) connected to the Orbi via ethernet and Time Machine is functioning well connected to that via wireless.

      Excellent! Thanks a lot! Is Orbi  service faster than if using additional Extremes as range extenders?

        Seems better so far.  I used to get occassional disconnects and perf drops on the extreme that forced me to power cycle every few weeks.
