Hi All, It's been awhile since I posted anything so bear with me.
I purchased a home in August, retiring my AirPort Time Capsule and installed an Asus Mesh WiFi.
At first, I had no idea how was going to back up my MacBook Pro. Then I searched the web and found a very useful article on MacWorld. It explains clearly how to setup the AirPort so it can be connected via Ethernet cable to a computer and function as a Time Machine.

This might be common knowledge to some but I wanted to share is this information for anyone who could use it.

Wow! Not exactly plug-n-play but it solved the problem! :yes:
Thanks for posting! Always good to be able to extend the life of our hardware! :thumbup:

Yep, keeping this stuff going is kind of essential. Over the years, I have added RAM and replaced the hard drive in the MBP with a Solid State Drive. The other day, I visited the Genius Bar and had them run a diagnostic. All good except for the battery.
The original is tired and needs replacing. Apple said they don't repair old computers, so I went to OWC, (my favorite parts store) and ordered a new battery.
A new computer that runs the latest software would be nice but now that I'm retired, that kind of thing goes on the back burner until I can make some extra cash. I haven't run any graphics software for a few years now.
Maybe some day…
