Can different security protocols be used on the two bands? E.g. WPA-AES on the 5Ghz and WEP on the 2.4Ghz band? thanks!

I have one wireless device (Nabaztag) that only works on 802.11b and only WEP security, a desktop wired via ethernet, a Macbook Air and a laptop PC. I don't want my whole network to be slow (WEP slows things down a LOT compared to WPA-AES) and insecure, so dual band could be ideal - if I can run this one gadget on WEP/2.4Ghz and the computers on WPA/5Ghz. thanks :)

can I change the the password from a WPA2 to WEP?

I am trying to connect my Epson Artisan 800 wirelessly so I can print without wires and was told by Epson that his printer does not support WPA2 passwords. Can I change the Time Capsules security password to a WEP , or something other than a WPA2?

Dual band time capsule with airport express

If I have a dual band time capsule and a single band airport express will my network still run dual band or will I only get the lesser of the two systems?

Will simultaneous dual-band support also work when extending an existing wireless network in which other base stations don't have that capability?

My ADSL modem comes with an integrated wireless base station. I would rather like to extend that network instead of replacing it. The reason is that my printer (which I would like to plug into Time Capsule) and the ADSL socket (which I need for Internet access) are located in different rooms. So I cannot plug in both into the same base station. However, the ADSL modem does not support simultaneous dual-band: you need to choose one. Will that also prevent Time Capsule from working with both bands simultaneously?

Can someone tell me how big the time capsule e.g. dimensions...width, height and length in cm?

I need to back up and move some photo/movie files off my laptop as it keeps on saying the hard drive is full. Is it therefore worth buying the time capsule or just a western digital hard drive? Thanks

Can you move iTunes and iPhoto Library onto Time Capsule and direct the apps on two different Macs to the libraries?

Seems that there are different answers to similar questions previously asked. It is highly unlikely that I would run two different computers off the same library simultaneously. A previous response to a similar question said that the programs and the data libraries are not designed to support two different computers using the same data library simultaneously (too bad). Assuming that only one computer will hit the data library at a time, will this work? Or is there a separate file that maintains an index of changes outside the library such that if one computer initiates a change to the data file, the other computer might not be able to see the change?

If I have a single band gigabit extreme and only use it to access the internet with no file sharing etc will I notice a speed increase by upgrading?

I have heard that even the slowest Wifi router supplies more bandwidth than a cable modem could fill.

security, share internet via wifi to a group of colleagues

I would like to use the Time Capsule to share internet via wifi to a group of colleagues. Is my personal backed up data exposed to those using the wifi by doing this?
