Archer AX55 / AX3000 TimeMachine woes
Anyone have TimeMachine working properly with this router?
I managed to get mine to work for about 3 weeks until it lost connection one day and now it won't backup.
I tried to rebooting the router and my mac. Deleted and and re-added timemachine setting, USB settings in the router, and even formatted my drive but all I ever get is a message saying it's preparing the backup and then it just stops. Nothing wrong with the USB external drive from what I can tell, although it is only USB 2.0 it worked at one point so I don't get why it would just stop working.
Thanks

Hello @Pwal
Thank you for reaching out to us and welcome to the TP-Link community.
Please go through all the configuration steps by following this FAQ one more time to check if Time Machine will work:
How to use Time Machine function on TP-Link routers
If it still fails, please provide us with the below information:
1. What is the brand and model of the USB device that is attached to the AX55?
2. How about the capacity and format type of the USB device?
I would also suggest you try the suggestion provided by MosLim (#9) in the following link:

@Pwal Also when I check the drive it has started to write to it. There is a .sparesbundle but it's only 189.6 MB

Thank you very much for all the detailed information.
If that is possible, I would suggest you try another USB or HDD with the Time Machine on the AX55 to determine if that happens to work.
To assist and figure it out efficiently, I would like to forward your case to the TP-Link support engineers who will contact you with your registered email address later. Please pay attention to your email box for follow-up.
