FIOS
I just got a MacBook Pro (early 2011 edition). I don't yet have an external hard drive, but want to get a 2 TB drive. I am about to get Verizon's FIOS, which comes with its own router. Should I get a Time Capsule ($500, including a router) or a 2 TB ext. hard drive (such as LaCie), which costs about $225 (for example, LaCie d2 Quadra Hard Disk 2 TB eSATA/FireWire800/FireWire400/USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive 301500U (Aluminum)). Given the fact that the FIOS has its own router, and I would have to disengage EITHER the FIOS router or the Time Capsule router if I use the Time Capsule, would I be getting anything of value that I otherwise wouldn't ge, or make things simpler, if I spend the extra $250 for the Time Capsule? I can't get a straight answer from either Apple or Verizon. And if I DO get a Time Capsule, which of the routers should I disengage-the one that comes with the FIOS or the one that comes with the Time Capsule?

Will Time Capsule do automatic backups if it is connected via ethernet cable into a Verizon FiOS router, instead of using WiFi?
We're doing away with WiFi in our house and going with ethernet wired locations. Can I connect our Time Capsule to one of the ports in our Verizon FiOS router, then connect three Macs into the same router (using the other three ports), and expect the Time Capsule to perform the same automatic backup functions that it does in its wireless mode?

TC and Actiontec ECB2200 on fios
I have Verizon FIOS and just purchased a TC and would like to set up in home at a different location than the FIOS router. Can I use an Actiontec Ethernet Coax Bridge (ECB2200) to my TC to set up in a different location within the home? And then just turn off the Wireless on the FIOS router? Thank you.

I do not plan to use this as a router--i have FIOS. I only want to use it as a way to back-up two IMacs. Is that reasonable?
As stated--this will NOT be a router. I like the wireless aspect of this--I know there are "better rated" hard drives. I am presuming I need to load the included software onto both of the IMacs. If I read correctly the "AirPort Utility" needs to be downloaded...and from there the TIME CAPSULE is set up...I am NOT connecting any ethernet cables. I am then presuming I have to access the TIME MACHINE app on the IMac--and it should be pretty self-explanatory???

Can I plug working ethernet cable into TC, and use it as a wireless router?
I am living in a university where internet is supplied via an ethernet cable plugged into the wall at one end, and computer at the other. I currently have no modem/router/anything other than a hole in the wall and an ethernet cable.
Am I right to assume that I can plug that ethernet cable from the wall into the back of a TC, and it would then act as a wireless router for my room, no other parts necessary?- Asked by Ben R

Can I use TC as a wireless router with a wireless broadband and how do I set it up?
I have a roof aerial with a box attached (maybe this is a AP/CPE but I'm not sure), and there is a wireless AP router in the house connected to the cable coming from the aerial. I can use this existing router for wireless connection but it works better if I connect an ethernet cable directly to the router because the wireless capability is rubbish so the TC might be better.

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?

What do I have to disable in my wireless router modem for the TC to work as my wireless access point for my broadband?
I have a Netgear wireless modem router and this question section talks about disabling some aspects of these type of devices. This appears to be when you wish the TC to act as the access point and then have it connected using a wire to the Netgear device to the internet. What do I need to do or disable?

Can I have a separate NAS drive plugged into a separate wireless router that would then connect through the TC router to the internet for FTP
I want to buy a NAS drive with FTP server. I gather the TC doesn't have FTP serving capabilities but if I buy a separate NAS drive and plug that into an existing wireless router I own could that then communicate with the wireless TC which would be connected to my cable modem and the NAS drive could act as the FTP server.
