Macbook sees the the two volumes as H: and I: on Finder>Network as shares on server “TP-NAS” (which was given during partitioning volumes as alias for ONLY volume H: - not for the HDD as such - ?).Problem: To get Macbook’s Time Machine BU to recognise and use volume Time Mdisk for backup Partition 2: I: Time Mdisk 13TB Mac extended journalling system Partition 1: H: TP-NAS 3TB Mac extended journalling system HDD formatted using Macbook “disk utility”: Seagate Expansion 16 TB USB HDD connected via AX50’s USB port. Setup: TP-Link AX50 in Router mode, access from 2022 Macbook via WiFi, They are now both visible on the TP Link web console and on the MAC through Finder>Network. Maybe the AX50 cannot handle more that one full partition via its USB connection? - After trying ExFAT for both partitions and facing that Time Machine cannot use an ExFAT partition, and then trying the Apple APFS format and realising that AX50 does not support this new file format, I have reformatted and created two HPFS+ volumes. I have tried many options, so fast without a breakthrough. The NAS/Media volume is up and running, but I have failed getting the Backup volume operational. So, I bought a huge HDD and proceeded to format and partition it in order to a) Create a NAS/DLNA-Media volume, and b) Create a Backup (Time Machine) volume for LAN clients and servers.

My new AX50 Router performs the basic routing services in a Mac environment, but I bought it to also utilise the Usb HDD facilities.
