Wifi Backup with MI424WR-GEN2

Hi

I have a MI424WR router, a Mac Book and an external USB hard drive. I would like to setup all these 3 gadgets to have a wireless backup as it happens with the Apple Time Capsule and Time Machine. When I go to the Airport Utility window at the System Config to setup the hard drive, the Mac Book doesnt find the router, although internet is working fine. Could you help me please?

Thanks

Vince

From your question I assume you mean you attached the external usb drive to the router.  Unfortunately that won't work as the usb port doesn't work by design.

Hmm.

I wonder where the login I normally use to access this forum disappeared to.

Guess I answered my own question!  This seems to be the original account, kind of annoying that the userid attached to it changed but it only took a couple of tries to guess what it is now,

Odd thing to do but I guess it made some sense to somewbody in Verizon.

I see that the change that introduced the new sign on that I just encountered also re-introduced the issue of the 10-15 second pause of completing the reply window delay - that issue was originally resolved about 4-6 months back.
