Good point I didn’t say it. Problem with thinking in your head, having already done it. You forget the little details.
^ certainly use a Ethernet cable no questions asked.
I have an ASUS RT-AC3100 router. I used this to replace my old Apple AirPort Extreme. My Apple Extreme has 3TB of storage. I would like to use this storage as a backup target. Can I use this with the ASUS router, maybe the time machine feature? Any input?
One other question. I have all Windows computers. I assume once I connect the Apple Airport drive (3TB) I can see it on the network and then use standard utilities to backup up my data. I checked the Time Machine feature on the Asus router and it seems like it is only for OSX
