Previously backed up my laptop when the Ultra was physically connected to it’s USB port without a problem. Now I have a fancy new Cisco Wifi Router EA4500 with an additional USB port. I can see the networked Ultra & have even played movies & games on it with my laptop & Roku, but how do I get WD …

This type of setup is not supported for the software. This is an USB drive so whenever connected to a Router it will not give you the same capabilities. You might need to use another software to backup when connected to the router.
