On linksys WRT - 1900AC V2 Time machine

SE your know that Linksys WRT-1900ac can use the time machine function? another post said that can not use time machine to back up! Is it really?

Thank you!

Yes, really. the linksys is a wifi router only, and has no hard disk attached. I guess that you can attach a hard drive somewhere (if possible) and put on with the Time machine backup, but this is neither here nor there.  For me, I bought a time capsule airport - very reliable and very easy to install and to use, does the job quietly and well. He also recommended to have a backup of some sort finally... just for security reasons

  • Linksys WRT 1900ACS + Linksys SE2800 - gigabit connection problem

    Hi guys,.

    I have a Linksys WRT router 1900ACS that is connected to a Linksys SE2800 switch. The switch is not recognized by the router as a gigabit.

    I also connected a computer with a gigabit network card via a cable, but I get only 100 Mbps speeds. My internet commection is a 500 Mbps. If I connect the computer directly to the router speed is about 470 Mbps.

    Is the switch defective?

    Thank you!

    For this 10/100Mbps port is displayed.

    OK, then you have a wiring problem. Replace the Ethernet cable with a good cable to know who is connected to before 1000mbps.

  • Linksys WRT 1900ac internet connectivity issues

    I apologize in advance for a potentially easy question, but I'm not very familiar with how to solve these problems, but I digress. I recently bought a new router to replace and older router that was functional, but the beach leaves to be desired. The old router, which was a cisco worked fine, but when I plugged my 1900ac upwards the light internet blinking white, and I have no idea how to fix this. I don't have any internet access. I am currently using my old router. any other important information that my ISP is Atlantic broadband and the supplied modem was a motorola SB5120 surfboard cable modem. I would really appeciate a soultion wise step to my problem.

    Thank you in advance!

    Try the cable modem and the router, and then plug off the modem. Wait for the modem to get all it's lights on. Then reconnect the router. Some modems/ISP lock the MAC address in the cable modem, so it will not 'allow' traffic unless they match.

  • WRT 1900AC - 1st edition material last BIOS - backup on SLOW remote NAS!

    I've recently updated my (EasUS ToDo Backup) backup software and had reconfigure a drive mapping to make it work.  My backups now run about 4 - 5 times slower (17 hours instead of 4) with the same material.  I can't believe, the problem is in the backup software, but maybe it's in the way I "mapped" the drive and it referenced in the backup program.  I was going to put a couple of my systems to Win10 before the end of the free period of "update", so I want good system backup and restore capabilities, and a 17 hour backups is a problem.

    Win7 (x 64) on two computers at the present time.  One of them saved thanks to the new software very good speed, but the other took "forever" on the same wired LAN which is certified 1 Gbps.  I wanted to be able to change the NETBIOS name on the router so that I can include my IPV4 machines in a "working group" without a real host "server."  I note that working group I use WinXP, WinVista and Win7 to be able to do things simply in my LAN is NOT "WORKGROUP" and I suspect that a simple change in configuration of software for the backup program will solve my problem, namely not invokng a 'sharing' as the backup target, but instead use the 'Network' connection I have implemented directly targeting 192.168.1.1 instead the windows share name. (drive letter).

    Is there a plan to let people change the 'media services' and name of working group on the router of the hard coded in the current BIOS?

    @Fuzzy - TY for this review, but... The wiring that I use has a gigabit switch between ports on the router and the Linksys WRT-1900AC so there isn't that one ethernet connection actually connect the router to the cable modem and an ethernet connection between the router and the network that has been certified to 1 Gbit/s, when we installed it.  All Cat 6 cables.

    According to me, the difference is in the network I have called inavertently when I configured the Windows backup software.  Since the post I checked how I got the software set up on another computer "faster" and found that the slow backup worked via a 'mapped drive"on the local host, and ran that fast on a 'network' drive that I had specified as //192.168.1.1 with the password 'admin' WRT-1900-AC to ensure that any user configured on the machine had right to the root of the drive.  "Bad habits have life hard."

  • WRT1900ACS no IPv6 Configuration Options - WRT 1900ACS

    Lack of adequate research on my part, but why in the world stores software packages offer NO real option on Linksys WRT 1900ACS IPv6?

    Anyone know if a DD - WRT image is available which provides IPv6 configuration options? And if you use an image that is stable, please provide the info of the image?

    Or another - not a Linksys - wireless router that provides IPv6 configuration options?

    I can install an old Cisco 2800 and a switch to wired customers as a temporary solution, but I learned to get this resolved as soon as POSSIBLE.

    Thanks for any info you can provide.

    John

    The WRT1900ACS is sustained and stable on the Sub 3rd party firmwares, they advanced IPv6 configurations. If you have many options:

    1. OpenWRT
    2. DD - WRT
    3. McDebian (for the Linux Experts)
  • Linksys WRT AC1900 Wifi Shut Downs

    I have a Linksys WRT AC1900 Dual-Band router and it used to work ok but now wifi works after after a restart or deactivate/reactivate but after a random time, it stops working but it is still connected according to my device.  It's really annoying and I am considering buying an access point so that I don't deal with it...  Anyone experience this problem?  Any ideas would be appreciated.  I have about 35-40 devices distributed between 2.4 / 5G with various 802.x standards...

    Because all connections and others are reset to zero with the pads. I presume over time, many features is basiclly fills the buffers and clogging of the device.

    While you wait for an additional AP, I had shuft TURNED off any device of low priority and get the number of connections up to 15 or 20 and test.

    Besure your channels in your area are open and not used by other neighbors that may cause interference.

  • I've never done a Time Machine backup and I have upgraded to iOS Sierra. Help!

    I'm a fool. After owning my Macbook for 5 years, I failed to make a single Time Machine backup. I just saved my essential to an external hard drive. I have upgraded to iOS Sierra. Big mistake. I want to go back to iOS Capitan, but it does not seem possible. Now, my external hard drive is wiped clean (things are dark). What are my options? If I'm stuck with Sierra?

    If you have downloaded El Capitan, it should always be available in your purchases. Now, you will need to make a backup to backup your personal files.

  • macOS Sierra stuck on the Time Machine backup

    Its been 2 weeks now since I updated to macOS Sierra and my Time Machine backup is always stuck on "preparing backup" and I tried different disc backup on another partition but still no luck.

    Make sure that:

    o drive the TM is excluded from Spotlight indexing non-mandatory;

    o that all software anti-virus is disabled (especially Sophos);

  • Time Machine does not work after upgrade to Sierra

    The Time Machine (TM) fail to start backup and there is still "preparing backup...". "for more than an hour. This right after upgrading to Mac OS Sierra.

    Another weird thing happens to the toolbar of the Mac Mail. The Junk button is replaced by another button. trying to put back in place, but remove the button become a button.

    Please help with the backup problem mentioned above. Thank you much in advance.

    How long have you waited? After a new installation, it must be a fair while even with a SSD to prepare the first backup due to the number of modified files.

    Make sure the TM drive is in the list of items excluded from Spotlight indexing. ICloud newsletter and other cloud services.

  • Time machine backup is too large, that is not true, said

    After the upgrade to OS Sierra, Time Machine always tells me that the backup is too big to fit on the external drive that I use. I erased the disc and checked all volumes, I don't want to back up. He always tells me that the backup is 2 TB.

    My boot drive has 155 GB in use, I do not understand why TM attempts to use 2 TB. I've removed the preferences, he always tells me that it is too big. The external drive has 1 TB of free space.

    Any suggestions?

  • Delete older backups time machine from the server

    I have a small number of iMacs here that back up using Time Machine on our local network to an external hard drive on an iMac running server. I added a second external hard drive and I say most of the Mac to use instead. Once they have saved once the new drive safely - how can I remove the old backup of the first disc? Is it safe to just delete the sparsebundle to it? Or is there a way to do it properly

    TIA

    Andy

    Yes, it is safe to delete the sparsebundle in the old media from backup after you remove as the backup location and create your 1st upward on the new location. Since your iMac is now pointing to the new backup media, they are more associated in the former. If you have no other Mac backup on old media, you can simply reformat.

  • Time Machine - how to change discs

    Hello

    Until now, I had time Machine using external HD_1 external drive. I just bought a new drive, external HD_2. I'd like Time Machine to begin to use external HD_2 while the addition of new backups to existing backups database.

    My question is: How can I transfer the backup database that is currently on HD_1 to HD_2? Do, I just have:

    -stop time Machine

    -in the Finder, move the folder of backups from one volume to another database

    -to tell Time Machine to use HD_2 and reboot

    or are there other complications - for example I'll end up with 2 databases disconnected backups - I need?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Mac OSx Sierra Time Machine WD my cloud

    Since upgrading to Mac OSX Sierra my Macbook Pro and Macbook Air are not capable of doing Time Machine back Ups to a WD MyCloud drive that is connected to our router.

    We have updated the firmware on the WD My Cloud drive to the latest version and contacted WD on this problem, so far they have not come with a solution to the problem.

    If you open Time Machine preferences and then observe what happens, by hitting 'Back Up Now' systems do "Looking to save the disc" then "Preparing backup" then stop and then go back to the status of 'rest' without backup anything to the top at all. It is the same on both machines. You can see here: Time Machine Back Up My Cloud

    Notice how the drive icon changes to the point where it stops working and then goes to the other drive which is a USB.

    Now, to complicate the issue further... an iMac connected via Ethernet to the router can go back to the My Cloud drive perfectly as before. If Apple changed something with the wireless protocols I think but that?

    Hi stevefrompembury,

    Thanks for posting in the Community Support from Apple! I understand that your or your Mac back up Time machine since the update. Backups are certainly crucial to ensure that your data remains secure, so I'm happy to offer some suggestions.

    You have already tried a few milestones. I recommend you take a look through this article so that you have covered all the steps mentioned, including the section titled 'Control your readers': If you can not back up or restore your Mac with Time Machine
