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 set Time Capsule up as a new router?

I am planning to get a Time Capsule and i was wondering if you could set it up as a new router. Also, can you use it as an external hard drive on a PC? I am a PC user.

How easy it it to set up time capsule as client to an existing network? What is gained or lost by doing this?

I am thinking about purchasing Time Capsule, but have seen several review comments where users did not find that this worked easily or at all. I spoke with a person in an Apple Store and that is how he indicated he uses his at home. We have a system that is working fine for various of our other computers. I am taking an "If it is not broken, do not fix it" approach to my thinking. If I would be better with a large external hard drive and simply use Time Machine, I can live with that, but do like the notion of a wireless incremental backup. Thanks

Can I create my own private storage if I am sharing time capsule with another person in the same house?

So If i was to buy time t/capsule can I:

- create my own individual private storage, password protected against over users of the storage facility?
-access my files away from home? (Without a me account?)
-the use of time machine is only viewable by me? and not other users using time machine with the same capsule?

Setup Apple TV with Time Capsule

I have a recent iMac and Mac Notebook set up using a Time Capsule 1TB.
Both Macs can access the internet and use the Time Capsule's disk.
I now want to add Apple TV to the setup.
I'd like to use Apple TV to:
View pictures and movies stored on my Macs on my HD TV (LCD)
Is there a help document that outlines the set-up procedure using the Time Capsule wireless network?
Can screen display windows on my Mac(s) be sent to (mirrored) on the HV TV?
Can applications like Adobe Bridge be used to display images (through Apple TV) to the HD TV?
Thanks
