[QUOTE="PGB1, post: 1825775, member: 76746"] Thanks Jake for posting a picture of your Finder Preferences. Mine has different choices (different OS X version, I believe t the reason). I check-marked [I]Bonjour[/I] to see if [I]Servers[/I] showed up. It didn't. Under [I]Preferences - General[/I] there is a box marked [I]Connected Servers[/I]. When i checked it, the Finder sidebar showed [I]Shared[/I] and the router attached storage showed up under that heading. I can click it & use it like any external drive that is connected to the computer. Well, almost just like... Time Machine and the router connected drive still do not 'see' each other, but I think I found out why today. TP-Link's published directions say (and show) to choose Time Machine in the router's USB configuration. It is not in my router's USB configuration page, so I wrote to them. The reply was that the router I have can't be used with Time Machine. Settles that puzzlement! Maybe there is a work-around, but I haven't found it (yet) and am not sure I would trust any work-around I come up with. [ATTACH=full]30112[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]30113[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
