Is there any difference between a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme other than the integrated hard drive?
My absolute top priority is the wireless network. I've got another, large network drive for storage. But for some reason, my university bookstore is selling a Time Capsule with 500 GB of storage at a cheaper price than the Airport Extreme. Is there any reason to still choose the Airport Extreme? If there's no difference, I'll get the TC, save $$, and get a bonus hard drive!

Can you use Airport Extreme with an attached hard drive to do wireless Time Machine backups from computers on the wireless network?
I've read that Snow Leopard doesn't allow for Time Machine backups over a wireless network - unless you buy a Time Capsule.

Can Airport Extreme extend the range of a Time Capsule?
I have a Time Capsule connected to my DSL modem. My WiFi is already extended with an Airport Express. I would like to add an Airport Extreme to extend to a different part of the house and also because i need 2 or 3 wired internet connections there. Will this work and is it necessary to turn off router functions in the Airport Extreme if the TC is already my router?

1. How many external hard drives can be connected to the AirPort Extreme? (ie, via a USB hub)
2. Can an external hard drive that had beeen connect directly to my Mac be then connected to the AirPort Extreme without loss of data, or having to be reformatted? (I use Mac OS Extended format with journaling, and I do not use Time Machine.)

Can I connect and old time capsule to a new airport extreme?
I use the old time capsule for back up and to stream music wirelessly. However, the music cuts in and out at times and is solid at other times. I suspect it is getting interference from neighboring wifi networks because I live in a town house and there are at least a half dozen networks in range. Can I buy an airport extreme and take advantage of it's dual band to stream the music on the 5 ghz band and connect the old time capsule to it and still use it for back up? I don't think I need a 2 tb drive and the old time capsule still works fine. I still have one or two b/g devices so I can't just switch the old time capsule to N only.

Can I have an Airport Express and Airport Extreme running at the same time?
I currently have an Airport Express with an iMac, MacBook and Apple TV running off it (this also allows Air Tunes). Next to my iMac are six external hard drives which ideally I would like away from my iMac - preferably in a cupboard somewhere else in the house. I wondered whether I could simply move the external hard drives away and connect them using a USB hub to an Airport Extreme and therefore connect to them wirelessly from both computers without it affecting the set up I already have with the Airport Express.

Airport Extreme / Time Capsule Range
I want to access email and the internet in my studio which is 170 feet away at the end of my garden. When I tried connecting my macbook pro it does not access my present router which is within line of site through a window overlooking the garden. Is an Airport Extreme or Time Capsule likely to connect? If not what other solutions are likely to work?
All thoughts appreciated.- Asked by Michael W

Is Airport Extreme Station the right solution to connect my USB Hard Drives to the network?
Home Setup: iMac (Snow Leopard), Vigor 2800 Wireless Router, 2 Seagate Ext Drives, Canon MP640 Wireless Printer.
The Seagate Drives are currently connected to the iMac with a USB cable but I would like them to be accessed wirelessly on the network.
Tried PogoPlug but it did not support Time Machine.

Time Capsule - Extreme Extender?
Got a 1TB time machine connected to my old modem. Bought my first Mac 10 months ago and love it. Problem is we've just had an extension and my iphone won't pick up the wireless signal in the new part of the house. I've asked for an airport extreme for Xmas in the hope it will extend the network for my phone etc. Have I done the right thing?

External Hard drive attached to AirPort Extreme Base Station questions ?
Hi,
A few questions below
1) What is the file system that the External Hard drives mounted via USB to the AirPort Extreme Base Station uses ?
Is it HFS ? I need network attched storage for HFS format to store iphoto libraries across computers without have both turned on . I have NAS support now for NTFS and EXT3 but iphoto does not work on those partition types very well.
2) If I set up the hard drive mounted via USB to the AirPort Extreme Base Station to have multiple partitions will all of those portions be seen by my MAC computers? I.e if I set up a partition for time machine of a macbook, a partition for a time machine of a mac mini, and then a third for data sharing will all be mounted and seen by the macs.
3) Can you rsync a hard drive attached to the AirPort Extreme Base Station to another hard drive attached to the AirPort Extreme Base Station if using a external hub . . I.e create a backup copy of the HFS drive .- Asked by Ryan A from West Townsend

Can a Powerline Adaptor be used to extend a network with Airport Extreme/Time Capsule?
My house is very large and the rooms do not adjoin (to get from one room to another there is outside wall/open air/outside wall). As such it is very hard to get a wifi signal throughout.
I have tried a succession of Airport Extreme/Express etc. but to no avail. I finally found a location in the house where the Base station will reach all but one room on a floor. So have placed a Time Capsule at one end of the house that reaches all but one room upstairs and an Airport Extreme at the other end that reaches all but one room. Each Base unit covers the room above/below that the other is missing. However they cannot see each other so I cannot share my iTunes around the house. I tried an Airport Express in between but it was ridiculously slow.
So I am thinking of using a Powerline Adapter as follows
Internet/iTunes(iMac) -> Time Capsule -> Powerline Adapter (upstairs)
then Powerline Adapter -> Airport Extreme (downstairs) to extend the network

How do I access a hard drive drive connected to an Airport Extreme base station using Airport Utility on Windows? Am I missing a step?
1. Running 2 PC's with Windows XP (SP3). Used USB hub to connect printer and hard drive (Seagate FreeAgent 500Gb ) to Airport Extreme base station. Used Airport Utility and bonjour (from disk provided with base station) to set-up shared network drive and network printer.
2. Used Control Panel (and System Preferences for additional MacBook running Leopard, 10.5.7) to add printer to each computer. The network "sees" the printer and prints can be sent from all 3 computers.
3. Tried many times to set-up hard drive without success. The drive does not show up on the PC's or the MacBook.
4. \\(ethernet address) on PC shows the printer on the 2 PC's but not the hard drive.
5. Is there another step to connect to hard drive?- Asked by Richard N from Brighton
