So, it looks like Apple mistakenly allowed the ability for Airport Extreme’s to use Airdisks as Time Machine locations. I guessed as much when I couldn’t get it to work for me and others have reported rubbish performance or failed backups.
“What a “lack of support” means is that if you attempt to use an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station for Time Machine backup, you won’t get any help from Apple’s technical support, something that readers have already told me”.

Looks like it was right for me to order that Time Capsule then!

I read about this the other day… I love how they touted it as a feature before putting out Time Capsule.
Honestly, if they had trouble making it work with Airport Extreme, that’s fine. Just man up to it. Ever since Apple became mainstream, their credibility keeps lowering in my books. This is just the latest event driving it lower.
