Overview
Wireless backup for Mac OS X Leopard and Snow Leopard.
Automatic backup with Time Machine.
Time Capsule works automatically with Time Machine in Mac OS X Leopard or Snow Leopard to create the perfect no-hassle backup solution. There are no cables, and you can back up all the computers in your home to a central location. New technologies in Time Capsule and refinements to Time Machine make backing up to Time Capsule using Snow Leopard up to 75 per cent faster than before.2
Server-grade storage.
The massive 1TB or 2TB server-grade hard drive2 gives you all the capacity and safety you need for backing up all your Mac computers.
Easy wireless networking.
Connect your DSL or cable modem to Time Capsule, then quickly set it up with the easy-to-use AirPort Utility, which is included for both Mac OS X and Windows. In minutes, you and up to 50 others can use your Mac computers or PCs to surf the web, stream video, share photos and more — without wires.4
Simultaneous dual-band Wi-Fi.
For maximum range and compatibility, Time Capsule works simultaneously on both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, allowing all the devices on the network to use the most efficient band automatically. It uses the latest 802.11n wireless technology, so you can enjoy up to five times the Wi-Fi performance and up to twice the range of 802.11g wireless networks.4 And improvements in antenna design give you up to 50 percent better performance and up to 25 per cent better range than with the previous-generation Time Capsule.5
Guest networking.
Set up a separate Wi-Fi network with a separate password for your visitors. Simply enable the guest networking feature, and your guests can use the Internet but can’t access other parts of your private network, such as your computers, printers and attached hard drives.
Wireless drive sharing.
Time Capsule also works great as a wireless hard drive, whether you have a Mac or a PC. It sets up in a snap, giving you a networked hard drive you can use for storing and sharing all kinds of files. If you’re a MobileMe member using a Mac with Mac OS X Leopard or Snow Leopard, you can even access the files on the drive over the Internet.6
Print without wires.
Print documents, photos and more from any room in your home or office to a central printer connected to Time Capsule via USB. (See system requirements.)
Strong security and access controls.
Protect yourself with the built-in firewall and industry-standard encryption technologies including WPA/WPA2 and 128-bit WEP.
Works with iPhone, Apple TV and more.
Time Capsule works with Mac computers, PCs, iPhone, iPod touch, Apple TV and virtually all 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi wireless devices — all at the same time.

Time Capsule - 2TB
Doesn't work with Windows 7

Nice NAS and dual band wireless access server. Works very well with my MacBook Pro. However it does not work with windows 7 PC's in either 32bit or 64bit flavours. The issue is that you cannot transfer files from the Windows 7 PC to the Time Capsule without it losing the NAS connection. Files from the Time Capsule to a PC work fine. Apple are aware of this issue, but say that until they support Windows 7 in Bootcamp this will not be fixed.
Many people are seeing this issue. Just google or go to the apple forums. …MoreWas this useful?

Time Capsule - 2TB
Easy, fast and does the job

Has operated for a month backing up five different Mac's and one shared wireless HP OfficeJet Pro 8000 printer. Smooth set up of the network and time-machine backup's for 3 of the computers. We are using the option for a fast 5GHz and a slower network, and that seems to have increased the network speed much from before where we had two devices each serving different needs. What about the backup of the backups? There is still a need for extra off site backups and ow does one handle that and how could the Time Capsule be part of that? Should there be some type of back-up of essential data and files to an extra disk? Like family photos, documents (my papers) etc. …More

Time Capsule - 2TB
Time Machine the best in wireless connection !
Written by RO from HORNCHURCH

This is a great product, it is very fast with my MacBook Pro 17 inch and it backs up my files very reliably, and I know about the 1TB Time Capsule and its problems but Apple have really sorted them out with this model. This is much better than my Sky Broadband router and that didn't even have network functions
If you have got a Mac, and you need a new router and hard drive this is definitely the product you should buy. …More45 of 47 people found this useful
