Backup Mac’s attached pocket drive (WD My Passport) to a networked drive via Linksys AC1900 router

How do you set Time Machine to automatically backup my WD Passport drive attached to my Macbook and save a copy in a networked hard drive via Linksys AC1900?

Appreciate any help. Thanks.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014), OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

Time Machine Backups OTA? Is there a way to do time machine back ups over the air without me buying the apple router that apple no longer supports? Does apple have iCloud backups like time machine I don't know about? I was trying to connect a hard drive to my TP link router but MacOS and time machine wasn't seeing the hard drive. Upon further inspection for Finder to see the drive I had to sign into the server every time which isn't convenient, nor do I want to do that every time I get home from school. Also time machine still wouldn't use that. Does anyone have any DIY solutions or help for this?

Any way to start a local time machine and move to ASUS router Im trying to do a backup of a 4TB setup and store it on my ASUS router but I think Im stuck doing it efficiently because of apples proprietary requirements. My router supports everything BUT APFS but I guess with newer MacOS it ONLY supports APFS because Im not given an option to format HFS+ so my router can see it (ASUS claims they support it). Anyone aware of a workaround so I can do my first backup locally in a format where I can move it to the router? Doing that its hours while over the network its days. Since apparently apple will only do time machine backups to their supported formats.
