    GT-AX11000 Time Machine Not working on latest Merlin

    Is time machine working correctly anymore. I notice that my drive never completes a backup but instead just disconnects. I am wondering if people are having success using the time machine feature. I am on the current firmware beta 3004.388.8.

    Time machine disk not found

    I've been running Time Machine for many many months using a USB drive attached to my GT-AX6000 to back up to. After not using my computer much lately, I recently discovered that no backups had occurred for the past two weeks. I thought that might have been because I didn't use my computer...

    TimeMachine, Network Backups, and macOS Big Sur and Monterey

    Good article on updates that Apple has done for MacOS 11 and 12 - as of Big Sur, TimeMachine can and does by default, use APFS in the SparseBundle image for networked backups... Note that it will not convert an HFS+ image to an APFS image, to make use of APFS, one does have to start over with...

    Time Machine restore: Can't find restore source

    Hi, Time machine seems to work fine as long as you are in the OS, but I can't figure out how to attach to it from the System Restore screens when you Command R at startup and rescue your computer.

    Time Machine (and Other) Errors

    Hi, My syslog is pretty active and showing as below. My questions are: * What is going on with the Time Machine backup hooked to my RT-AX88U? Note some of the smudged texts are my router login and others are one volume from a device trying to wirelessly sync to it. * What is the error with...

    mDNS name drifting on ZenWiFi XT8

    I've got this issue where the mDNS name of my router keeps changing or -should I say- increasing. What do I mean by "mDNS name"? One of my router's hostname is set to `ZenWiFi_XT8-Main`, so it's reachable at `zenwifi_xt8-main.local`, and this ".local" name is the mDNS name. What is the...

    Decoding RT-AC86U

    First off I would like to thank the lot of you, as reading threads and posts here helped me decide on this Asus router. Though money was not an issue, things here were so well articulated here, it helped understand my own needs and bite the right bullet. Imagine I was going to buy Nighthawk...

    Been working to set up time machine on since I bought this router without success. Have a 2TB WD My Passport Ultra that I was successfully using with an old Airport for a long time without issue.

    AC86U USB Drives not recognized & Time Machine not working

    I'm a novice at routers. I bought this router based upon reviews and the fact that they advertise that you can use if for Mac Time Machine backups. I've contact ASUS and while they are very nice - they're not at all helpful. They don't seem to grasp the nature of the problem. I have two...

    Recently, I tried to setup on a 68u and an 88u with the same result. The router see's and mounts an unencrypted drive but when I select the path all i get is the apparently hidden and tiny Boot_OS_x partition. The drives have existing time machine backups and plenty of free space. The several...

    RT-AC66U Time Machine backups

    Is it possible to enable wireless Time Machine backups for Macs to a USB HDD connected to my RT-AC66U? I might be confused, but it seems like there is a possibility by looking here: https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1004458/ I don't, however, have the Time Machine app under USB apps, is there a...
