[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1732870, member: 204485"] warmtone, you have my sympathy as well. Unfortunately a first backup can take quite a while although usually not that long but via WiFi, well, who knows. One thing for sure is that TM doesn't know either. It is infamous for giving inaccurate time estimates. That 20Hrs could change to 2hrs in the space of 5 min. So long as it is actually progressing it will get there eventually. As to your question, "How can I fix this?" your only option would be a cable connection. It may be that something else is hogging your bandwidth but that is a separate issue. [/QUOTE]
