Dear Community,
I'm using an Apple iMac and I just purchased a Netgear Router (model R7800 - Nighthawk X4S AC2600) and I connected to it an external USB Harddisk to be used for Time Machine.
The setup was ok and the first back up started as expected. Unfortunately, after several hours from the start of the first backup (at about 1,3Tb of a total of 2,5Tb), I received an error message explaining Time Machine was not able to proceed and a new back up is needed.
I repeated the procedure already 4 times, changing each time some router functionalities (like excluding the Media Server function) but the problem is still there.
Any similar experience? Anyone how could used this router properly for Time Machine?
Thanks a lot
Kind regards
Andrea
PS
I'm using Osx Sierra and Time Machine is working properly if I connect the HD directly to my iMac USB port
