[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1825482, member: 175845"] +!. I would seriously and doubly reinforce that comment, especially regarding using Time Machine and expect any sort of reliable TM backup. Edit: Maybe checkout some of this: [I][B]Backup disks you can use with Time Machine[/B][/I] [url=https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202784]Backup disks you can use with Time Machine - Apple Support[/url] Network-attached storage (NAS) device that supports Time Machine over SMB . So maybe check the documentation you've got or can get for your new TP-Link router. Maybe it "[I][B]supports Time Machine over SMB[/B][/I]" whatever that actually means. PS: I would never suggest only using a TM backup as one's only backup!!! My opiniom and I have witnessed TM screwup just too many times, but it does seem to have improved somewhat with later OS versions. But your choice. EDIT: Actually using your TP-Link router for use with TM and using SMB setup seems quite simple: [I][B]How to use Time Machine function on TP-Link routers?[/B][/I] [url=https://www.tp-link.com/cz/support/faq/1564/]How to use Time Machine function on TP-Link routers? | TP-Link Česka republika[/url] - Patrick ====== [/QUOTE]
