so it is done without the hassle of plugging in a drive every time. For a desktop Mac I would certainly recommend this as well.īut for a laptop it is really neat to automate the backup over wireless on home network. is faster, cheaper, and much more reliable cf network backups. A USB disk plugged directly into the computer. since they cannot do Time Machine as well then adding a NAS would be a better solution. the linksys routers you have might work fine for you. So probably it sounds like I should consider putting in a good wifi router, and a separate NAS for the Time Machine software to work on. That is why in the pro world you keep all these functions to separate products. All in one products compromises some aspect or other. since the OS was really designed for that. The synology router does very well at the storage side. when it has to cater not just for Mac but windows and linux and all the mobile devices. Plugging a USB 3 hard disk into the back of one of them and expecting it to work well for Time Machine is adding to the range of accessories. while all the time maintaining perfect connections to networks from all PC and device manufacturers. and in the more recent incarnations needing to handle mesh for example. Routers are already heavily overloaded with wireless and routing duties.
