Alright I've been wanting the 2TB Time Machine but it being pretty damn expensive and me not needing the router along with it only have 3 ports on the back has kept me from purchasing.
I began looking at my Linksys WRT-610N wireless router and it has a USB port on the back of it. I began reading and looking around in the setup of this feature but HAVE NO CLUE what to do and what I can do with it.
I've got a USB hard drive plugged in it for testing purposes. Can someone please help me figure this out? In the setup of the router you select "STORAGE" which allows you to either have the external USB hard drive as a "DISK" a, "MEDIA SERVER" or a "FTP" server. I'm not sure what all settings I need to select.
I'd like to use the hard drive as a Time Machine-like hard drive. I want to put all of my photos, music and files on it and be able to access it like a hard drive that was connected directly to my computer [if possible].
I have very little to none experience with this type of set up.
