This post is references a post found int he Deco forums: https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/835180

I am making an official request for the routers threads.

"As per this Apple article (see the subtext or Find --> AFP), AFP is deprecated, and there's a notification banner (and banner in the settings panel for Time Machine) that appears from macOS Sequoia 15.6 alerting users that AFP is confirmed to be losing support in future versions, therefore, I'm requesting that Deco's Time Machine feature advertises over SMB (ideally V3.1.1), which should not be a stretch to implement considering that Deco already supports Samba. Also, implementing the filesystem driver for APFS would be a nice addition. Thanks!"

This solution should really be implemented to all network devices that have USB Sharing.
