Hello, I'm getting ready to retire a Time Capsule I've used for years as both wifi router and backup location for Time Machine.
What systems are you using for Time Machine over wifi that are working?
I would like to replace the Time Capsule with a new wifi router (that will hopefully expand range a bit) and connected external drive. I've read posts about people having issues with some setups using Time Machine like this.
?For wifi routers some of the options I'm considering are the TP-Link AX3000 or Eero Pro 6, but I'm open to others. For the hard drive I would be happy using a simple lacie or western digital and attaching it via USB. However, it seems like a simple external hard drive may not be enough and I may need an NAS drive (I've never owned an NAS drive before). If I need an NAS some of the options that look like they might work are the Synology DS120j or DS118.
So, if anyone has a setup that they really like I'd be happy to go with that.
Thanks in advance for the suggestions ?
