    Yes. The Time Capsule is a normal router and PC compatible for basic internet access.

    The time machine features are (obviously) not available to a PC, however, you can share a USB device (drive, printer) to PCs on the network by connecting the USB device to the Time Capsule.

  • Yes but why would you want to? If you are not going to use the wireless functionality and you can't use the Time Machine backup with a PC you could get a USB external HDD for about 1/3 the price to do the same thing.
