According to the documentation, the router is supposed to be able to support OSX Extented (Journaled) partitions, but I could never get them to show up. Getting things to work for you may vary slightly based on drive/hardware, but I this approach should work. I have a Netgear DGND3700v2 DSL Modem / Router (N600) with firmware version 1.1.00.12_1.00.12NA and a Western Digital Elements 1.5 TB Drive.
I’m running a MacBookPro with Mountain Lion (OSX 10.8.3). Mount it, and then set that to be your Time Machine backup source. From there, create a sparse bundled disc image on the partition for your Time Machine backup. Use Fat32 (might be listed as simply FAT in newer versions of Disk Utility) partitions for all your partitions since the router will be able to read them. TL DR (For those of you that want the quick fix) After some digging and tweaking, I managed to make it work. This allowed you to plug a USB drive into it and have it shared across all your computers in the network (music, photos, backup, etc.) However, their documentation to get it to work with OSX’s Time Machine backup tool wasn’t working. Over the weekend I purchased a Netgear DGND3700v2 DSL Modem / Router (N600) and discovered that there was a great feature called ReadyShare. If you do run into problems (I did later on), I have some notes below to help. You shouldn’t run into any trouble if you decide to upgrade. Note: I just upgraded to OSX Mavericks (10.9) and the ReadyShare drive is still readable and functional in Time Machine.
