Questions & Answers for Time Capsule - 3TB

I don't see why not. I've set it up with Airport Utility on my iPod Touch and I can view my entire network and make any changes right from the iPod.

The limit is really based on how much needs to be backed up. The TC will let you know if you reach that limit. I Have 3 Mac's backing up to a 1TB dual band TC. And it all works fine.

Short answer: Yes.
Bought a the 2 TB model in the USA and am now happily using it in Europe.
The power supply is a universal one (110-240V). The only thing you need
is a plug adapter.
There is a slight chance of problems, since the allowed WiFi bands are
not identical in Europe and the USA, but so far I have not experienced any
problems.

Hi,

There is currently no way to do backup automatically in the way you ask. You can however use the Time Capsule as the main backup source and then within Airport Utility->Manual Setup->Disks There is an 'Archive" option that allows you to do a one-click copy onto a USB external hard drive, but it is not automated.

Yep, the NAT router/firewall works for both Ethernet and wireless. Note though that you really ought to be worrying about not running software and services you don't need, not running software from untrusted sources, and keeping your software up-to-date, rather than firewalls. Even without a firewall, your iMac is already quite hardy to network attacks and doesn't need a Time Capsule unless you actually want a backup and/or wireless device.

Yes, I use one Time Capsule to back up an iMac and two MacBook Pros.

No, the airport extreme can replace a router if you have one, but it can not replace the comcast cable modem - it doesn't have the necessary hardware to connect the cable line. This would be a great addition to your network though. You would plug your cable modem in to the airport extreme, and the airport extreme would share that connection to your desktop via a wired (or wireless) connection, as well as to your roku and visiters via the wifi.

No, Apple doesn't have such a product.

A Time Capsule (or any of the other Apple wireless access points like Airport and Airport Extreme) can act as a router. It can do many things like internet sharing, IPv6 routing, DHCP server, guest wireless network, print serving, etc.

A Time Capsule doesn't act like a modem simply because there are so many modem technologies around like DSL modem, cable modem, satellite modem, fibre modem, etc., and each broadband vendor uses its own settings for such a modem. Building such a "one size fits all" product would be close to impossible, and at least extremely expensive.

I would recommend to use the modem your broadband vendor supplies, and use the Time Capsule as your wireless access point -and- one click backup solution for your iMac.

In a word — yes. Time Capsule can support multiple machines, but if two or more are attempting a backup at the same time, each backup will take a bit longer than it would if it were the only one backing up. However, I have multiple computers backing up to a single Time Capsule and there is enough randomness it when the Time Machine backups occur, it is rare that any two machines are backing up at the same time.

Certainly, the standard one year limited warranty on Apple hardware.
