Unable to connect through Netgear Orbi Bridge for Time Machine backups

[Todd Nine]

Hi all,
I'm having a somewhat weird issue I could use some help with. I'm running TrueNas version TrueNAS-12.0-U7. I'm using an SMB "Mutli-protocol AFP/SMB Shares" as a time machine backup. When I have the following network setup, I'm able to back up to the time machine mount successfully. The lines with arrows indicate a wired connection


Laptop --> Netgear Orbi Main Router <-- FreeNas

However, if I have the following network setup, I'm unable to back up via time machine.

Laptop --> Netgear Orbi Main Router ---- Orbi Sattelite <-- FreeNas

What's odd, is that in the 2nd network configuration, I can browse the shares over the network from my laptop, but I can't seem to mount the time machine encrypted disk image over the network via Finder. It doesn't seem to be a physical connectivity issue for any other connection interface. The time machine just refuses to back up with the generic error message. Any idea what may be going on? See the attached screenshot for my configuration.

Migrating from a "Mult-Protocol (AFP/SMB)" share to a "Multi User Time machine" share has at least unblocked me from using the system.
I had to move my sparse image file into a sub directory for my user, but I'm back up and running again!
