So does this replace my linksys router? I have a standard (non router) modem. Will it have an IP address just like my linksys to set security etc?

And also besides serving as a router it will also backup my macbook pro wirelessly via time machine?
Can it back up to separate macbooks via time machine also?

will time capsule work with linksys 3000?

I have a modem from the cable company... I have a dell i7 with 8GB ramm, 1.5 TB and two - 2.0 TB drives and a 1 GB video card. I have connected this to a 32 " monitor with 4 HDMI imputs spaces... and it is imput #1. I have a loaded Mac Mini that is going into HMDI #2 with a 2 TB iomega drive attatched to it. I am interested on how I could use this 2 TB time capsule in conjunctions with my excisting linksys router wireless net work... I also have two iphones and two ipads... that already use the Linksys network along with two sony wireless computers. I would like to see if I could set up the Time Capsule to do the back up for the Mac Mini... and allow the iphone, ipads, and other wireless devices connect to it as well by changing the wifi network selction on that particular device... and still have it password protected? Oh... and also access the internet through this device as well? Do I need a dual output modem? Do they make those? BTW... the other two HDMI ports are going to be for an apple TV and a WDHD TV... the lights dim sometimes when I turn it on... I am interested in your thoughts on either how to handle this configuration... or is there a better option and what would be the trade-offs?

Can I Setup Time Capsule in bridge Mode with my Linksys E3000

I would like to use my Linksys E3000 router as my main device. I just like the functions of the time capsule for wireless backup using Time Machine. I have read that you can set the Time Capsule in bridge mode and connect it to my Linksys via the Ethernet cable. I want to use my wireless signal from my Linksys and just use the Time Capsule as a backup.

Still connected to my Linksys Wifi signal on my Macbook will Time machine work
Thus being connected to the Time Capsule though the linksys.

Macbook to the linksys and linksys to the time cap

The wireless function of the Time Capsule are just to limited.

Will this work?

If using the time capsule as a router, can I limit who on the network has access to the hard drive portion of it?

I am interested in getting the Time Capsule to use as a wireless router in my house to replace the piece of junk one I have and to have large storage capacity. My problem is I have roommates who would also be using the same network, but I wouldnt want them to have access to the data I would store on it. Is there any way I can configure it to work as a router for all roommates but limit access to its hard drive/storage capabilities to just myself?

Furthermore, if instead I were to continue to use my old router (a linksys), is there any way to set up the Time Capsule as a wireless repeater to strengthen the signal in my bedroom on the other side of the house?

One more thing....does anyone have any experience using this router outside of the US? Ive got decent/normal internet connectivity from my ISP but I wouldnt want to get a time capsule if it could potentially not be compatible with a non-US service provider. Thanks.

Can I add a Linksys router to my Time Capsule to boost the signal strength at the other end of the house?

I have a cable that runs the length of the house that is plugged into the Time Cap, can I plug this into my old linksys router to boost signal speed and strength? What would I have to reconfigure on the linksys router?

Can you still wirelessly communicate from your computers to the TC if you are not using the TC as a wireless router?

I currently have an iMac and a MacBook that I use wirelessly via a cable modem and a Linksys wireless router located on my first floor. I would like to install the TC on my second floor next to my printer. I would like the ability to print wirelessly as well as backup wirelessly with the TC. Possible?

Can I use another router with the time capsule?

Can I use another router with the time capsule? I really just want to use the time capsule as a wireless external hard drive and wireless printer station. Also do I have to directly connect the time capsule to the modem and/or other router?

Thanks.
